3x%2B5=-2%2B3x Start with the given equation.


3x=-2%2B3x-5 Subtract 5 from both sides.


3x-3x=-2-5 Subtract 3x from both sides.


0x=-2-5 Combine like terms on the left side.


0x=-7 Combine like terms on the right side.


0=-7 Simplify.


Since this equation is never true for any x value, this means that there are no solutions.
