Question

2x-2=x+45
Can someone figure out the value of x?

Answer 1

x=47

Explanation:

To solve this problem, first, you have to isolate x on one side of the equation. Isolate it on one side of the equation.

2x-2=x+45

2x-2+2=x+45+2 (First, add 2 from both sides.)

45+2 (Solve.)

45+2=47

2x=x+47

2x-x=x+47-x (Then, subtract x from both sides.)

47-x (Solve.)

47-x=47

x=47

In conclusion, the final answer is x=47.
