Answer
False.
To make it true, change the RHS to $5+2x.$
Work Step by Step
Two algebraic expressions are equivalent if
they have the same value for ALL replacements.
replace x with 0:
LHS = $2(0)+5=5$
RHS= $5(0)+2=2$
so, the equality does not hold up, the two expressions are not equivalent.
To make it true, change the RHS to $5+2x.$
$2x+5=5+2x$, because addition is commutative.
