Question

6 = 2 - 2x + 10

X=??

Answer 1

X= 3

When you combine terms you end with:
6=12-2x
-6 = - 2x (12 was subtracted from both sides)
Then you divide both sides by -2 and end up with 3 = x

Answer 2

x=3

Explanation:

6 = 2 - 2x + 10

Subract 2 from both sides: 4= -2x + 10

Subtract 10 from both sides: -6=-2x

Divide both sides by -2: 3=x

x=3
