To solve the equation \(7x - 6 + 3 = 5x + 2x + 5\), we start by simplifying both sides.
First, simplify the left side: \[ 7x - 6 + 3 = 7x - 3 \]
Now simplify the right side: \[ 5x + 2x + 5 = 7x + 5 \]
Now the equation looks like this: \[ 7x - 3 = 7x + 5 \]
Next, subtract \(7x\) from both sides: \[ -3 = 5 \]
This statement is false, indicating that there is no value of \(x\) that can satisfy the equation. Therefore, there are no solutions to the equation.
