Question 376621
{{{5(x-7)=3(x-2)+2x}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{5x-35=3x-6+2x}}} Distribute.



{{{5x-35=5x-6}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{5x=5x-6+35}}} Add {{{35}}} to both sides.



{{{5x-5x=-6+35}}} Subtract {{{5x}}} from both sides.



{{{0x=-6+35}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{0x=29}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{0=29}}} Simplify.



Since this equation is <font size=4><b>never</b></font> true for any x value, this means that there are no solutions.
