2x−6 = −2

x=

1 answer

To solve the equation \( 2x - 6 = -2 \), follow these steps:

  1. Add 6 to both sides of the equation: \[ 2x - 6 + 6 = -2 + 6 \] This simplifies to: \[ 2x = 4 \]

  2. Now, divide both sides by 2: \[ \frac{2x}{2} = \frac{4}{2} \] This simplifies to: \[ x = 2 \]

So, the solution is \( x = 2 \).
