Answer:

All real numbers are solutions

Explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step

3(x+2)=5x+1−2x+5

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation

3(x+2)=5x+1−2x+5

(3)(x)+(3)(2)=5x+1+−2x+5(Distribute)

3x+6=5x+1+−2x+5

3x+6=(5x+−2x)+(1+5)(Combine Like Terms)

3x+6=3x+6

3x+6=3x+6

Step 2: Subtract 3x from both sides

3x+6−3x=3x+6−3x

6=6

Step 3: Subtract 6 from both sides

6−6=6−6

0=0
