Answer:

[tex]no \: solution[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Expand.

[tex]7a + 5a + 15 = 8a + 4a+ 8[/tex]

2) Simplify 7a + 5a + 15 to 12a + 15.

[tex]12a + 15 = 8a + 4a+ 8[/tex]

3) Simplify 8a + 4a + 8 to 12a + 8.

[tex]12a + 15 = 12a + 8[/tex]

4) Cancle 12a from both sides.

[tex]15 = 8[/tex]

5) Since 15 = 8 is false, there's no solution.

[tex]no \: solution[/tex]

Therefor, this equation has no solution.
