Question
$$5+2x = 2x+6$$
Answer
This equation has no solution.
Explanation
$$ \begin{aligned} 5+2x &= 2x+6&& \text{move the $ \color{blue}{ 2x } $ to the left side and $ \color{blue}{ 5 }$ to the right} \\[1 em]2x-2x &= 6-5&& \text{simplify left and right hand side} \\[1 em]2x-2x &= 1&& \\[1 em]0 &= 1&& \\[1 em] \end{aligned} $$
Since the statement $ \color{red}{ 0 = 1 } $ is FALSE, we conclude that the equation has no solution.
