Question

X + 2 + x = 22 I need to show my work. Please help. No false answers please.

Answer 1

x = 10

Explanation:

First you need to add like terms (x + x), which would give you 2x.

2x + 2 = 22

Then subtract 2 from both sides, causing it to cancel out one side, and 22 - 2, on the other side:

2x + 2 = 22

-2 -2

22 - 2 is 20, giving you:

2x = 20

Then divide both sides by 2:

2x/2 = 20/2

And you should get x = 10 as your answer.

Answer 2

2x + 2 = 22
2x = 20
X = 10
