Question

Which of the following describes the correct process for solving the equation 2x + 6 = 22 and arrives at the correct solution? (1 point)

Select one:
a. Divide both sides by 6 and then add 2. The solution is x = 8.
b. Subtract 6 from both sides and then divide by 2. The solution is x = 8.
c. Add 6 to both sides of the equation and then divide by 2. The solution is x = 6.
d. Subtract 6 from both sides of the equation and then divide by 22. The solution is x = 16.

Answer 1

You would subtract 6 from both sides and then divide by 2. So the solution would be x=8. So 'B'

Answer 2

The correct answer is
A. Divide both sides by 6 and then add 2. The solution is x=8
