To solve the equation \( 6x - (2x - 5) = 2(2x + 4) \), we can follow these steps:
Distribute and simplify both sides: \[ 6x - 2x + 5 = 4x + 8 \] Here, we distribute the negative sign in \( -(2x - 5) \).
Combine like terms on the left side: \[ (6x - 2x) + 5 = 4x + 8 \] Simplifying the left side gives: \[ 4x + 5 = 4x + 8 \]
Subtract \( 4x \) from both sides: \[ 5 = 8 \]
The equation \( 5 = 8 \) is a contradiction, which means there is no solution for the equation.
Therefore, the original equation has no solution.
