Which of the following describes the correct process for solving the equation 2x - 6 = 22 and arrives at the correct solution? (1 point)

Divide both sides by -6 and then add 2. The solution is x = 8.
Subtract 6 from both sides of the equation and then divide by 2. The solution is x = 7.
Add 6 to both sides of the equation and then divide by 2. The solution is x = 14.
Add 6 to both sides of the equation and then divide by 22. The solution is x = -14.

anonymous · Answer

Add 6 to both sides of the equation and then divide by 2. The solution is x = 14. BECAUSE you want a variable alone on one side, and to do that you add six to both sides to remove the negative 6. Then, you have 2x = 28, now you want to solve for x so you simply divide by two on both sides and get x = 14. If you don't understand it I can go into more detail
