what you want to do is get x by itself:
2x+2=2x+8 (subtract 2 on both sides)

2x=2x+6 (subtract the 2x that's on the right side)

0=6
the +2x and the -2x cancel out making a zero. that leaves you with 0=6, 0 doesn't = 6 so there is no answer/ No Solution.

2x + 2 = 2x + 8
-2x -2x

2 = 8 is not equal
