Answer:

2

Explanation:

1 Subtract 66 from both sides.

2x=10-6

2x=10−6

2 Simplify 10-610−6 to 44.

2x=4

2x=4

3 Divide both sides by 22.

x=\frac{4}{2}

x=

2

4

4 Simplify \frac{4}{2}

2

4

to 22.

x=2

x=2

Done

2x+22=18

We move all terms to the left:

2x+22-(18)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

2x+4=0

We move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right

2x=-4

x=-4/2

x=-2
