In the list of terms you provided, the term that cannot be combined with the others is 4 x².

The other terms (-3x, 11x, and x) are all linear terms (involving x to the power of 1), so they can be combined together. However, 4x² is a quadratic term (involving x to the power of 2) and cannot be combined with the linear terms.
