Question

2x-98=0 solve for x

Answer 1

try adding 98 to both sides first.

Answer 2

you need to isolate the x so, what binarymimic said, add 98 to both sides, which cancels it ou on the left side and makes 98 on the right side. so now you have 2x = 98. further isolate the x by dividing both sides by 2, cancelling out the 2 and x = 98/2
