Equations which are never true:

2.1 Solve : 2 = 0

This equation has no solution.
A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation:

2.2 Solve : x-13 = 0

Add 13 to both sides of the equation :
x = 13

Answer 2

Answer:

x=13

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

8 + 2x = 34

Solving

8 + 2x = 34

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-8' to each side of the equation.

8 + -8 + 2x = 34 + -8

Combine like terms: 8 + -8 = 0

0 + 2x = 34 + -8

2x = 34 + -8

Combine like terms: 34 + -8 = 26

2x = 26

Divide each side by '2'.

x = 13

Simplifying

x = 13
