Infinite solutions.

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

Simplify similar terms on each side.

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

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

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