Question

5+2x=2x+6 please answer

Answer 1

no solution

Explanation:

Given

5 + 2x = 2x + 6 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

2x = 2x + 1 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

0 = 1 ← not possible

Thus indicates the equation has no solution

Answer 2

If we firstly consider only the terms in x.

subtract 2x from both sides of the equation

⇒5+2x

−2x=2x−2x

+6

Observe that the x terms are eliminated and we are left with

5+0=0+6 that is 5=6 which is invalid

There is no solution to this equation.
