Question

Solve this equation by undoing
AKA solve for x

2x + 8 = 26

Answer 1

Explanation:

`2x + 8 = 26 \\`

`2x + 8 - 8 = 26 - 8`

`2x = 18`

`x = (18)/(2) \\`

`x = 9`

Answer 2

• 
  `\boxed{\tt x=9}`

Explanation:

`\tt 2x + 8 = 26`

Subtract 8 from both sides:-

`\tt 2x+8 \bf{-8}= \tt 26 \bf{-8}`

`\tt 2x=18`

Divide both sides by 2:-

`\tt \cfrac{2x}{\bf2}=\cfrac{18}{\bf2}`

`\tt x=9`
