To solve the equation \( 5x + 2 = 7 + 5x \), let's first simplify both sides:

1. Start by subtracting \( 5x \) from both sides:

\[
5x + 2 - 5x = 7 + 5x - 5x
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
2 = 7
\]

Since the statement \( 2 = 7 \) is false, there are no values for \( x \) that satisfy the equation. Therefore, the original equation has no solution.
