solve 2x + 3 = 2x + 7

This equation does not have a solution because it is inconsistent. The left side of the equation is equal to the right side of the equation but the constant terms are different. Therefore, no value of x will make this equation true.

try and solve it anyway

If we subtract 2x from both sides of the equation, we get:

3 = 7

Since this is a false statement, there is no solution to this equation.
