Enter the number that makes the following mathematical statement true.(1 point)

Question

x+
−2=x−2

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( x + (-2) = x - 2 \), we can simplify both sides.

The left side simplifies to: \[ x - 2 \]

So we have: \[ x - 2 = x - 2 \]

Since both sides are equal for any value of \( x \), the equation is true for all values of \( x \). Therefore, there is no unique solution; any number will satisfy the equation.
