PLZ HELP

Answer 1

Tyler didn’t simplify the like terms so that part is wrong



First step is rearranged like terms

6 + 5 -2x + 4x

Which leads to
6+ 5 = 11

-2x+ 4x
Look at the bigger value sign
= 2x

Therefore the the answer is 11 + 2x
Or you can say 2x + 11 it doesn’t really matter to be honest
