Question

What is the solution to the equation 35-2x=23

Answer 1

35- 2x = 23

Subtract 35 from both sides.

• -2x = 23 - 35

Subtract 35 from 23 to get −12.

• -2x = -12

Divide both sides by −2.

• x = -12 / - 2

Divide −12 by −2 to get 6.

• x = 6 ===> Answer

Answer 2

x = 6

Explanation:

35 - 2x = 23

35 - 23 - 2x = 0

35 - 23 = 2x

12 = 2x

x = 6
