Apologies for the mistake. Let's simplify the equation correctly:

Simplify the left side of the equation:
2(x-5) = 2x - 10

Simplify the right side of the equation:
9 - 3x + 6 + 8 + 3x + 7 = 33

So, the left side of the equation simplifies to 2x - 10, and the right side simplifies to 33.

Apologies for the mistake again. Let's simplify the right side of the equation correctly:

Simplify the right side of the equation:
9 - 3x + 6 + 8 + 3x + 7 = 32 + 3x - 3x = 32

So, the right side of the equation simplifies to 32.

Apologies for the repeated mistakes. Let's simplify the right side of the equation correctly:

Simplify the right side of the equation:

9 - 3x + 6 + 8 + 3x + 7 = 30 + 3x + 5

After combining like terms, the right side of the equation simplifies to 35 + 3x.

Apologies once again for the previous errors. Let's simplify the equation correctly:

Simplify the left side of the equation:
2(x-5) = 2x - 10

Simplify the right side of the equation:
9 - 3x + 6 + 8 + 3x + 7 = 30

So, the left side of the equation simplifies to 2x - 10, and the right side simplifies to 30.

Therefore, the equation 2(x-5) = 9-3x+6+8+3x+7 simplifies to:

2(x-5) = 30
