Answer 1

No Solution

Explanation:

1) Parenthesis

Here, you cannot add x and 1, so you must distribute the 2 into the parenthesis.

(2x+2) = 2x +5

2) Isolate the variable.

To do this, you must subtract 2x from both sides of the equation

2x - 2x + 2 = 2x - 2x + 5

2 = 5

Clearly, this is a false statement, seeing at 2 can never equal 5, the answer is no solution

Answer 2

Final Answer: No Solution

Steps/Reasons/Explanation:

Question: Solve
`2(x + 1) = 2x + 5`.

Step 1: Expand.

`2x + 2 = 2x + 5`

Step 2: Cancel
`2x` on both sides.

`2 = 5`

Step 3: Since
`2 = 5` is false, there would be no solution.
