Question

-2 + x = -x + 2 what is x

Answer 1

`\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 2

`\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}`
