Question

2x=4 what does x equal?

Answer 1

Hello there! :) To find the variable x, you must isolate it.
2x=4
2 and x are connected by multiplication. To undo them to isolate x, you must divide both sides by 2.
2x/2=4/2
x=2
Hope this helps!

Answer 2

2x=4
Divide 2 on both sides so that the only thing remaining on the left side is the variable x.
Final Answer: x = 2
