Question

What is the solution to this equation?

2x + 2 = 10
O A. x= 4
O B. x = 16
O c. x = 24
O D. x = 6

Answer 1

first, you need to subtract two from both sides

2x + 2 = 10
-2 -2

then take the remaining numbers and divide them by 2

2x = 8

and you get your answer

x = 4

Answer 2

A. x= 4

Explanation:

`2x + 2 = 10`

Collect like terms and simplify

`2x =10-2\\2x =8`

Divide both sides of the equation by 2

`(2x)/(2) = (8)/(2) \\\\x = 4`
