Question

Which of the following describes the correct process for solving the equation 2x − 6 = 22 and arrives at the correct solution?

A. Divide both sides by −6 and then add 2. The solution is x = 8.

B. Subtract 6 from both sides of the equation and then divide by 2. The solution is x = 7.

C. Add 6 to both sides of the equation and then divide by 2. The solution is x = 14.

D. Add 6 to both sides of the equation and then divide by 22. The solution is x = −14.

Answer 1

2x-6=22

Well first you're going to add six to both sides:

2x-6+6=22+6
2x=28

Then, you're going to divide both sides by 2:

2/2x=28/2
x=14
