-3%287x-6%29-x=26-2%2811x%2B4%29
-21x%2B18-x=26-22x-8 distribute
-22x%2B18=-22x%2B18 combine like terms
-22x=-22x subtract 18 from both sides
x=x divide both sides by -22
Since x=x is a true equation, then this means the equation has an infinite number of solutions. Any number that is substituted for x will make the equation true.
