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.
