Answer:


\sf \: x = 2

Explanation:

Now we have to,

→ Find the required value of x.

The equation is,

→ -2 + x = -x + 2

Then the value of x will be,

→ -2 + x = -x + 2

→ x + x = 2 + 2

→ 2x = 4

→ x = 4 ÷ 2

→ [ x = 2 ]

Hence, the value of x is 2.

Answer:


\large\boxed{\tt x=2}

Explanation:


\textsf{We are asked to solve for the value of x.}


\textsf{We are given an equation where x is on both sides of the equation.}


\large\underline{\textsf{Solving;}}


\textsf{Begin solving by adding x to both sides of the equation to cancel out -x on the right}


\textsf{side of the equation. Afterwards, simplify the left side of the equation to evaluate}


\textsf{x.}


\large\underline{\textsf{Evaluating x;}}


\tt -2 + x= -x + 2


\textsf{Remove the -x on the right side by adding x to both sides of the equation.}


\tt -2 + x +\boxed{\tt x} = -x + \boxed{\tt x}+ 2


\tt -2 + 2x = 2


\textsf{Now, we should simplify the left side of the equation as there's only a whole number}


\textsf{on the right side of the equation.}


\textsf{Remove the -2 on the left side of the equation by adding 2 to both sides of the equation.}


\tt -2 + \boxed{\tt 2}+ 2x = 2 + \boxed{\tt 2}


\tt 2x = 4


\textsf{Lastly, divide both sides of the equation by 2 to find the value of x.}


\tt (2x)/(2) = (4)/(2)


\large\boxed{\tt x=2}
