2x+2=8
Solve for x
2x+2=8
2x + 2 - 2 = 8-2
2x = 6
x = 6/2
x = ?
Thanks! Connor looks like he nees some help too.
To solve the equation 2x + 2 = 8 for x, we need to isolate the variable x on one side of the equation. Here's how you can do it step by step:
1. Start by subtracting 2 from both sides of the equation to eliminate the constant term on the left side:
2x + 2 - 2 = 8 - 2
Simplifying the equation gives us:
2x = 6
2. Next, we want to isolate the variable x by dividing both sides of the equation by the coefficient of x. In this case, the coefficient is 2:
(2x)/2 = 6/2
Simplifying further:
x = 3
Therefore, the solution to the equation 2x + 2 = 8 is x = 3.
