Infinite solutions.

$2 x - 5 x + 11 = 2 - 3 x + 9$ $2x-5x+11=2-3x+9$

Simplify similar terms on each side.

$- 3 x + 11 = - 3 x + 11$ $-3x+11=-3x+11$

As you can see here, both sides are same, which means they can be cancelled out to nothing.

In such cases all values of $x$ $x$ will satisfy the equation and hence we have infinite solutions given the domain.
