Let the equation be 2x + 5 = 2x + 8.
Subtracting 2x from both sides, we get:
5 = 8
This statement is clearly false, as 5 is not equal to 8. Therefore, the equation has no solution. This is because if we simplify the equation, we would get a statement that is not true, which means there are no values of x that can make the equation true.
