Question

How do u solve 2x + 22 = 12

Answer 1

Answer:

-5

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to eliminate 22, so x is alone.

2x+22=12

So we subtract 22 from both sides.

2x+22=12

-22 -22

2x=-10

Now we have to divide 2 on both sides so x is alone.

2x=-10

÷2. ÷2

x=-5

We can always check

2(-5)+22=12

-10+22=12

12=12
