x =212

Answer 1

No solution

Explanation:

if you distribute the right side of the equation, we get

`5x + 15 = 5x + 25`

which is a problem, because this means that

`5x - 5x = 25 - 15\\0 = 10\\`

which is a false statement, meaning that no matter what you put into x, the equation will not hold.

hence, there is no solution
