To solve this equation, we are going to isolate the variable x. To do this, we are going to begin by adding x to both sides because this will cancel out the negative x on the right side of the equation.

x + 2 + x = -x + x - 2
When we combine like terms, we get:
2x + 2 = -2
Next, we will try to continue to isolate the variable by subtracting 2 from each side to get the 2x term on the left by itself.
2x + 2 -2 = -2 -2
When we combine like terms, we get:
2x = -4
Finally, to get x by itself we must divide by 2 to undo the multiplication of the coefficient of the term 2x.
2x/2 = -4/2
When we perform the division, we get:
x = -2
Therefore, x = -2.
We can check this answer by plugging it back into the original equation. Our answer is verified because 0=0.
Your answer is that x = -2.
Hope this helps!

<h3>What is Logarithm?</h3>

The opposite of exponentiation is the logarithm.
This indicates that the exponent to which a fixed number, base b, must be raised in order to obtain a specific number x, is represented by the logarithm of that number.
A number's natural logarithm is its logarithm to the base of the transcendental and irrational number e, which is roughly equivalent to 2.718281828459.
