To solve for x, you need to isolate/get x by itself in the equation:
Square ² both sides to get rid of the square root √
x - 2 = 0 Add 2 on both sides
x - 2 + 2 = 0 + 2
x = 2

Hoped I helped!
Steve ran 11 miles
let the distance Steve ran be x
Then distance Kevin ran is x + 4 ( 4 miles more than Steve )
x + x + 4 = 26 ( the sum of their distance is 26 )
2x + 4 = 26 ( subtract 4 from both sides )
2x = 22 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 11
Steve ran 11 mies and Kevin ran 11 + 4 = 15 miles
check 11 + 15 = 26

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Each hat is $5
Each mask is $3
Step-by-step explanation:
Hat= x dollars
Mask= y dollars
Now,
3 hats and 4 mask sold = $27
We can write
3x + 4y = 27
Adding the second equation (-1 times 1st equation) gives us;
3x + 6y = 33
-1* (3x + 4y = 27)
3x + 6y = 33
-3x -4y = 27
2y = 6
y = 6/2
***y = 3***
Now we replace y= 3 into 1st equation and solve for x:
3x + 4y = 27
3x + 4(3) = 27
3x + 12 = 27
3x + 15
x = 15/3
***x= 5***
Each hat costs $5
Each mask costs $3
