2x-10=2. (Answer=6)

2x=12 (you move the -10 to the other side of the equation to make it positive)

Then you divide by 2

2x divided by 2 equals x 12 divided by 2 is 6

So your number is 6. x=6

And you can check this by redoing the equation but putting 6 instead of x

2(6)-10=2

12-10=2

2=2

This equation is true therefore, your unknown number is 6
