Answer:

C. There is no solution.

Explanation:

First, multiply what in the parentheses by what's outside of them.


2(x - 3) = 2x + 5 ↴


2x - 6 = 2x + 5

Then seperate variables from nonvariables. After subtracting
2x from the right and left side, the equation becomes this:


- 6 = 5

This equation has no solutions because this is an inequality.
