To solve for x, we can start by simplifying the equation:

5(2x + 2) - 7x = 3x + 6

Distribute the 5 on the left side:

10x + 10 - 7x = 3x + 6

Combine like terms on both sides:

10x - 7x + 10 = 3x + 6

3x + 10 = 3x + 6

Subtract 3x from both sides to isolate the constant terms:

10 = 6

This equation is not possible as it results in a contradiction. Therefore, the equation has no solution.
