Answer

[tex]3 \times (x + 4) = 3x + 11[/tex]

[tex]3x + 12 = 3x + 11[/tex]

That's impossible, cause 3x plus 12 can't be equal to 3x plus 11.

Equation: [tex]3(x+4)=3x+11[/tex]

Can be simplified using distribution of parentheses: [tex]3x+12=3x+11[/tex]

Now we subtract [tex]3x[/tex] from both sides and get: [tex]12=11[/tex]

Which is false ([tex]12\neq11[/tex]) and therefore the equation has no solution [tex]x=\emptyset[/tex]

Feel free to ask anything ;)
