solve for x

Question

-10=-2+x/2
Simplify your answer as much as possible

Answer 1

To solve for x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation. We can do that by first multiplying both sides of the equation by 2:

-10(2) = -2(2) + x

-20 = -4 + x

Next, we can add 4 to both sides of the equation:

-20 + 4 = -4 + x + 4

-16 = x

Therefore, the solution is x = -16.
