Question

What do I do now cause I’m stuck in the middle of the equation and not sure what else I may need to do besides make the x alone but I’m not sure how.

2x + 8 = 10

Answer 1

you subtract 8 on both sides so 8-8 and 10-8.
That leaves you with 2x=2 and divide by two so x=1

Answer 2

x = 1

Explanation:

2x + 8 = 10 Subtract 8 from both sides

2x + 8 - 8 = 10 - 8

2x = 2 Divide both sides by 2

`(2x)/(2)` =
`(2)/(2)`

x = 1

Check:

2x + 8 = 10

2(1) + 8 = 10

2 + 8 = 10

10 = 10 checks.
