If we firstly consider only the terms in x.
subtract 2x from both sides of the equation
⇒5+2x
−2x=2x−2x
+6
Observe that the x terms are eliminated and we are left with
5+0=0+6 that is 5=6 which is invalid
There is no solution to this equation.
Answer:
no solution
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
5 + 2x = 2x + 6 ( subtract 5 from both sides )
2x = 2x + 1 ( subtract 2x from both sides )
0 = 1 ← not possible
Thus indicates the equation has no solution
