here is the original equation
(i) 5%28x%2B3%29-3%28x%2B4%29=2%28x-3%29
step 1 - distribute on both sides to get
(ii) 5x%2B15+-3x+-+12+=+2x+-+3
step 2 - combine like terms to get
(iii) 2x+%2B+3+=+2x+-+3
step 3 - subtract 2x to get
(iv) 3+=+-3
Since this is not possible, we say
No solution.

5(x+3)-3(x+4)=2(x-3)
5x + 15 -3x -12 = 2x -6
2x + 3 = 2x -6
3 = -6
That is a contradiction.
There is no solution for the problem.
