Question
$$x+2 = x-2$$
Answer
This equation has no solution.
Explanation
$$ \begin{aligned} x+2 &= x-2&& \text{move the $ \color{blue}{ x } $ to the left side and $ \color{blue}{ 2 }$ to the right} \\[1 em]x-x &= -2-2&& \text{simplify left and right hand side} \\[1 em]x-x &= -4&& \\[1 em]0 &= -4&& \\[1 em] \end{aligned} $$
Since the statement $ \color{red}{ 0 = -4 } $ is FALSE, we conclude that the equation has no solution.
