Explanation:

If it is a two-step equation, you would have to do the inverse operation. So you would have to add 22 to 2 and get 24. Then, you would get 6x = 24. The last thing is to divide. 24/6 = 4. Hope this helps!!! :) :) :)

Answer:

Below

Explanation:

Because you need only two steps to solve it

Step 1 : Add 22 to both sides


6x - 22 + 22 = 2 + 22 \\ 6x = 24

Step 2 : Divide both sides of the equation by 6


(6x)/(6) = (24)/(6) \\ x = 4
