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

Subtract 6 from both sides, and then divide by 2. The solution is x = 8.
Divide both sides by 6, and then add 2. The solution is x = 8.
Add 6 to both sides of the equation, and then divide by 2. The solution is x = 6.
Subtract 6 from both sides of the equation, and then divide by 22. The solution is x = 16.
