We need to find the next step to solve the equation after we get
In order to isolate the variable x on the left side of the equation, we need to subtract 2 from both sides of the equation. When we do the same operation on both sides, we obtain an equivalent equation.
Then, we have:
2x + 2 - 2 = 28 - 2
2x = 26
Therefore, the constant on the right side that we obtain in this step is 26.
