To solve the equation \( 28 = 2x + 8 \), follow these steps:
1. Subtract 8 from both sides of the equation:
\[
28 - 8 = 2x
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
20 = 2x
\]
2. Now, divide both sides by 2:
\[
x = \frac{20}{2}
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
x = 10
\]
So the solution is \( x = 10 \).
1. Subtract 8 from both sides of the equation:
\[
28 - 8 = 2x

2. Now, divide both sides by 2:
\[
x = \frac{20}{2}
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
x = 10
\]
So the solution is \( x = 10 \).
