Answer:

its not 4, its -2

Explanation:

2x+6=2

since we are adding 6 we need to subtract 6 from both sides

2x+6=2

-6 -6

so then we have

2x=-4

so we divide both sides by the number next to the variable/coefficient which is 2

so

2x/2 cancels out

4/-2=-2

we are left with

x=-2

Explanation:

Going to assume you need to know that value of x

2x + 6 = 2

isolate the variable by subtracting 6 on both sides

2x = 8

divide by 2

x = 4
