Question

10x - 2 = 18 what is the answer

Answer 1

X=2

Explanation:

First you need to add 2 to both sides to get 10x=20

Then you divide 10 from each side and you’re left with x=2

Answer 2

Hey there!

10x - 2 = 18

AFD 2 to BOTH SIDES

10x - 2 + 2 = 18 + 2

CANCEL out: -2 + 2 because it gives you 0

KEEP: 18 - 2 because it helps solve for the x-value

10x = 18 + 2

10x = 20

DIVIDE 10 to BOTH SIDES

10x/10 = 20/10

CANCEL out: 10/10 because it gives you 1

KEEP: 20/10 because it gives you the result of the x-value

x = 20/10

SIMPLIFY IT

x = 2

Therefore, your answer is: [x = 2]

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
