Question

Which of the following describes the correct process for solving the equation 2x + 6 =22 and arrives at the correct solution

Answer 1

Explanation:

Starting with 2x+6=22

You subtract 6 from each side of the equation:

2x=16

You want to isolate the "x" so you divide each side by 2.

x = 8

check your answer: 2x + 6 = 22

2(8) + 6 = 22

16 + 6 = 22
