Question

If 2x - 4= 16 for some value of x, then

what is the value of x + 2 for the same
value of x?

Answer 1

Final Answer: 12
Step 1:
2x - 4 = 16
+4 = +4
2x = 20
2x/2 = 20/2
x = 10

Step 2:
x + 2
10 + 2 = 12

So your answer is 12.

Answer 2

12

Explanation:

2x - 4= 16

Divide by 2

2x/2 -4/2 = 16/2

x -2 = 8

Add 4 to each side

x-2+4 = 8+4

x+2 = 12
