The = is supposed to be $3$ lines as it is supposed to be an identity.
Work out the values of a and b in the identity $3ax + 6 - 4(x + b) = 11x + 14$

0want you solve the equation $$3ax+6-4(x+b)=11x+14$$ for $x$? – 2017-02-25

0So.... do it. What's your question?. Where are you having trouble? What do a and b have to be to make that an identity question? Is it a conceptual problem you are having.? The actual math is trivially easy. – 2017-02-25

$3ax + 6 - 4(x+b) = $
$(3a-4)x + (6-4b) = 11x + 14$
So $3a - 4 = 11$ and $6-4b = 14$. Solve for $a$ and $b$.
