Hello,

x + 2 = 6

x = 6 - 2

x = 4

Hello!

To find our answer, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. We could subtract 2 from both sides of the equation. It cancels out the plus 2 on the side with x, showing us what x is equal to.

6=x+2

We subtract 2 from both sides.

4=x

Therefore, x=4.

I hope this helps!
