6x-4x%2B1=12%2B2x-11 Start with the given equation



2x%2B1=12%2B2x-11 Combine like terms on the left side


2x%2B1=2x%2B1 Combine like terms on the right side


2x=2x%2B1-1Subtract 1 from both sides


2x-2x=1-1 Subtract 2x from both sides


0x=1-1 Combine like terms on the left side


0x=0 Combine like terms on the right side


0=0 Simplify

Since this equation is always true for any x value, this means x can equal any number. So there are an infinite number of solutions.
