-2x%2B9%2B7x-2=-5x%2B10x%2B11 Start with the given equation.


5x%2B7=-5x%2B10x%2B11 Combine like terms on the left side.


5x%2B7=5x%2B11 Combine like terms on the right side.


5x=5x%2B11-7 Subtract 7 from both sides.


5x-5x=11-7 Subtract 5x from both sides.


0x=11-7 Combine like terms on the left side.


0x=4 Combine like terms on the right side.


0=4 Simplify.


Since this equation is NEVER true for any x value, this means that there are no solutions.
