2x+5=2(x+1)+11

To solve the equation 2x + 5 = 2(x + 1) + 11, follow these steps:

1. Distribute the 2 on the right side of the equation: 2x + 5 = 2x + 2 + 11

2. Combine like terms on the right side: 2x + 5 = 2x + 13

3. Subtract 2x from both sides to isolate the variable: 2x - 2x + 5 = 2x - 2x + 13 5 = 13

4. Since 5 is not equal to 13, the equation is inconsistent.

Therefore, there is no solution to the given equation.
