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

@Jacob902 i think its either C or D

Answer 2

ok so the first part of C and D is correct
If you did that, your equation would be
\(2x=28\)
now the step after this would be to divide the number attached to the variable, which is 2 in your case.

Answer 3

c

Answer 4

ok thnx guys :)

Answer 5

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

Select the answer you think is correct. :o)

Answer 6

im postive its c
