Question

Who here can solve this simple equation with an explanation?
2x – 4 = 2.
It’s very easy.

Answer 1

Just asking questions for the algorithm

Answer 2

move the terms to tha right

Answer 3

Well, your first step is very simple, you want to isolate your variable to one side. You can do this my adding 4 to both sides. After that you get:
2x = 6

Now, you have to isolate your variable further by getting just the variable. You can do this by dividing both sides by the number "2". After that you get:
x = 3

Which is your answer.

You can also check this problem by simply substituting the number 3 for x in the original equation. If it equals out after you've done your steps, then you've got the correct answer.

Ah yes big brain

Answer 5

Ye, my brain be PULSATING

Answer 6

2x -4 = 2
+4 = +4
2x = 6
2x/2 = 6/2
^ cancels out = 3

x = 3

Answer 7

hope this doesnt help you :D

Answer 8

\[2x−4=2\]
\(\sf\ +4\ to\ both\ sides\)
\[2x−4+4=2+4\]\[2x=6\]
\(\sf\ ÷2\ to\ both\ sides\)
\(\LARGE\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{6}{2}\)
\(\mathbb x=3 \)
