The expression \(2x + 23\) seems to be missing an equation to solve for \(x\). To find \(x\), there needs to be an equal sign and another value. For example, if you have:
\[ 2x + 23 = 0 \]
You can solve for \(x\) like this:
-
Subtract 23 from both sides: \[ 2x = -23 \]
-
Divide both sides by 2: \[ x = -\frac{23}{2} \] \[ x = -11.5 \]
If you have a specific equation you would like to solve, please provide it!
