The number of solution in 2(x + 1) = 2x + 5 is (a) no solution

How to solve for x in the equation?

The equation is given as:

2(x + 1) = 2x + 5

Open the brackets

2x + 2 =2x + 5

Subtract 2x from both sides

2 = 5

The above equation is false

This means that the equation has no solution

Hence, the number of solution in 2(x + 1) = 2x + 5 is (a) no solution
