Hello!

Answer:


\Large \boxed{\sf No ~solution}

Explanation:

→ We want to solve thsi equation:


\sf 5(2x + 2) - 7x = 3x + 6

Simplify the left side:


\sf 10x + 10 - 7x = 3x + 6


\sf 3x + 10 = 3x + 6

Subtract 3x from both sides:


\sf 3x + 10 -3x= 3x + 6-3x

Simplify both sides:


\sf 10 =6

→ The equation is a contradiction so it has no solution.

Conclusion:

The equation has no solution.
