Answer 5

Any idea how to start it?

Answer 6

4a−11=2a+2a+12

Since 2a and 2a are like terms, add 2a to 2a to get 4a.

4a−11=4a+12

Since 4a contains the variable to solve for, move it to the left-hand side of the equation by subtracting 4a from both sides.

4a−11−4a=12

Since 4a and −4a are like terms, add −4a to 4a to get 0.

0−11=12

Remove the 0 from the polynomial; adding or subtracting 0 does not change the value of the expression.

−11=12

Since −11≠12, there are no solutions.
