`\text {\underline {The First Step is to Subtract both side by 2}}`

`\text {1/3x+2-2=0 (This cancels out. Leaving 1/3x by itself)}\\\text {16-2=14}`

`\text {Your New Problem Is: 1/3x=14}`

`\text {\underline {The Final Step is to Multiply both sides by 3}}`

`\text {3*1/3x=0 (This crosses out. Leaving x by itself)}\\\text {14*3=}`

`\text {Your Answer Would Be:}`
