    Simplifying

    5n + 3 = 2 (n + 2) + 3n

    Reorder the terms:

    3 + 5n = 2 (n + 2) + 3n

    Reorder the terms:

    3 + 5n = 2 (2 + n) + 3n

    3 + 5n = (2 * 2 + n * 2) + 3n

    3 + 5n = (4 + 2n) + 3n

    Combine like terms: 2n + 3n = 5n

    3 + 5n = 4 + 5n

    Add '-5n' to each side of the equation.

    3 + 5n + - 5n = 4 + 5n + - 5n

    Combine like terms: 5n + - 5n = 0

    3 + 0 = 4 + 5n + - 5n

    3 = 4 + 5n + - 5n

    Combine like terms: 5n + - 5n = 0

    3 = 4 + 0

    3 = 4

    Solving

    3 = 4

    The left and right sides are not equal, therefore there is no solution.
