Answer: 2x-5=8x+7-6x

We simplify the equation to the form, which is simple to understand

2x-5=8x+7-6x

We move all terms containing x to the left and all other terms to the right.

+2x-8x+6x=+7+5

We simplify left and right side of the equation.

0x=+12

0=12

The left and right sides are not equal, therefore there is no solution. This equation is invalid.
