Answer:

no solution

Explanation:

-5x + 10x + 3 = 5x + 6

Collect terms in x on the left side and numeric values on the right

5x + 3 = 5x + 6 ( subtract 5x from both sides )

5x - 5x + 3 = 6 ( subtract 3 from both sides ), which gives

0 = 3 ← not a true statement

Hence the equation has no solution
