To determine which equation has the solution x = 6, we'll substitute x = 6 into each equation and see which one results in a true statement.

Option A: 3x + 5 = 2x – 11

3 × 6 + 5 = 2 × 6 – 11

18 + 5 = 12 – 11

23 ≠ 1

This equation is not true when x = 6.

Option B: 4x – 4 = 2x + 8

4 × 6 – 4 = 2 × 6 + 8

24 – 4 = 12 + 8

20 = 20

This equation is true when x = 6.
