2(x−1)−4=−2
I will try to solve your equation.
2x−6=−2(Simplify both sides of the equation)
2x−6+6=−2+6(Add 6 to both sides)
2x=4
(2x)
2
=
4
2
(Divide both sides by 2)
x=2

Is that one part completed? Like are we supposed to solve the opposite of that too o. o
OpenStudy (anonymous):
No, the answer is C

Oooh... I suppose. Thank you and it's - 4
OpenStudy (raden):
2|x-1|-4=-2
2|x-1| = -2 + 4
2|x-1| = 2
|x-1| = 2/2
|x-1| = 1
x - 1 = 1
x_1 = 2
or
x - 1 = -1
x_2 = 0
the sum of x's = 2 + 0 = 2

Ok, goody! :D
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I already solved it
OpenStudy (raden):
but you have one x, while we should we have 2 x's. but the last answer is correct :)
