Answer:

Explanation:

Simplifying

3x + 5 = 3x + 7

Reorder the terms:

5 + 3x = 3x + 7

Reorder the terms:

5 + 3x = 7 + 3x

Add '-3x' to each side of the equation.

5 + 3x + -3x = 7 + 3x + -3x

Combine like terms: 3x + -3x = 0

5 + 0 = 7 + 3x + -3x

5 = 7 + 3x + -3x

Combine like terms: 3x + -3x = 0

5 = 7 + 0

5 = 7

Solving

5 = 7

Couldn't find a variable to solve for.

This equation is invalid, the left and right sides are not equal, therefore there is no solution.
