Question

Simplify x + (x-2) = 10?

Answer 1

question should be "solve for \(x\)" not "simplify"

Answer 2

Shouldn't ask this question, do it by yourself will be better for you, I think.

Answer 3

combine like terms on the left, get
\[2x-2=10\] then solve i two steps:
1) add \(2\) to both sides
2) divide both sides by \(2\)

Answer 4

Thank you! I was a tic lost on how to remove the parentheses... turns out I was right. x)
