Question

Translate (in terms of x) then solve the algebraic equation: Ten is subtracted from twice some number and the result is the sum of the number and 2.

Answer 1

2x-10=x+2

x = 12

Explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

2x−10=x+2

Step 1: Subtract x from both sides.

2x−10−x=x+2−x

x−10=2

Step 2: Add 10 to both sides.

x−10+10=2+10

x=12
