The equation has no solutions. (See below)

Solve for #x#

#5+2x=2x+6#

Subtract #2x# on both sides

#5+2x-2x=2x-2x+6#

#5ne6#

When two numbers do not equal: it means that the equation has no solutions! There is no possible #x# value that can make the equation true.

Check:

#5+2(10)=2(10)+6#

#5+20=20+6#

#25ne26#
