5 + 2x = 2x+6

Move 5 to the other side

Sign changes from +5 to -5

5-5+2x= 2x+6-5

0+2x= 2x+1

Move 0 to the other side

0-0+2x= 2x+1-0

2x= 2x+1

Move 2x to the left side.

2x-2x= 2x-2x+1

0= 0+1

0= 1

Answer: no solution

The sides are not equal if that's what your asking because you have to subtract 2x from both sides and that gives you 5 = 6
