To solve the equation \( 2x + 5 = 2(x + 1) + 11 \), we can first simplify the right side:
Distribute \( 2 \) in \( 2(x + 1) \): \[ 2(x + 1) = 2x + 2 \]
Now, substitute this back into the equation: \[ 2x + 5 = 2x + 2 + 11 \]
Combine the terms on the right: \[ 2x + 5 = 2x + 13 \]
Now, subtract \( 2x \) from both sides: \[ 5 = 13 \]
This statement is not true; hence, the original equation has no solution. The two sides are not equal for any value of \( x \).
Thus, \( 2x + 5 = 2(x + 1) + 11 \) has no solution.
