Question
$$6x+5 = 5+6x$$
Answer
The equation has an infinite number of solutions.
Explanation
$$ \begin{aligned} 6x+5 &= 5+6x&& \text{move the $ \color{blue}{ 6x } $ to the left side and $ \color{blue}{ 5 }$ to the right} \\[1 em]6x-6x &= 5-5&& \text{simplify left and right hand side} \\[1 em]6x-6x &= 0&& \\[1 em]0 &= 0&& \\[1 em] \end{aligned} $$
Since the statement $ \color{blue}{ 0 = 0 } $ is TRUE for any value of $ x $, we conclude that the equation has infinitely many solutions.
