Answer 1

Final Answer: No Solution

Steps/Reasons/Explanation:

Question: Solve $2(x + 1) = 2x + 5$.

Step 1: Expand.

$2x + 2 = 2x + 5$

Step 2: Cancel $2x$ on both sides.

$2 = 5$

Step 3: Since $2 = 5$ is false, there would be no solution.

Answer 2

Answer:

No Solution

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Parenthesis

Here, you cannot add x and 1, so you must distribute the 2 into the parenthesis.

(2x+2) = 2x +5

2) Isolate the variable.

To do this, you must subtract 2x from both sides of the equation

2x - 2x + 2 = 2x - 2x + 5

2 = 5

Clearly, this is a false statement, seeing at 2 can never equal 5, the answer is no solution
