Solve for x . x−2=8

7 answers

To solve the equation \( x - 2 = 8 \), follow these steps:

  1. Add 2 to both sides of the equation to isolate \( x \):

    \[ x - 2 + 2 = 8 + 2 \]

    This simplifies to:

    \[ x = 10 \]

So, the solution is \( x = 10 \).

That is wrong

Let's go through the solution step by step again to clarify.

The equation is:

\[ x - 2 = 8 \]

To solve for \( x \), we add 2 to both sides of the equation:

\[ x - 2 + 2 = 8 + 2 \]

This simplifies to:

\[ x = 10 \]

Therefore, the solution is indeed:

\[ x = 10 \]

Hat is still wrong

I apologize for any confusion. Let's solve the equation carefully once more.

The equation provided is:

\[ x - 2 = 8 \]

To solve for \( x \), we'll add 2 to both sides:

  1. Start with the equation: \[ x - 2 = 8 \]

  2. Add 2 to both sides: \[ x - 2 + 2 = 8 + 2 \]

  3. This simplifies to: \[ x = 10 \]

The correct value of \( x \) is indeed \( 10 \).

If there's a specific reason you believe this to be incorrect, please share that, and I'll be happy to help resolve the issue!

Guys the answer is -16

I understand there seems to be confusion. Let’s clarify the equation from the beginning to see where we may have misunderstood:

Given the equation:

\[ x - 2 = 8 \]

Solving for \( x \):

  1. Isolate \( x \) by adding 2 to both sides: \[ x - 2 + 2 = 8 + 2 \] This simplifies to: \[ x = 10 \]

The solution to the equation \( x - 2 = 8 \) is \( x = 10 \), not -16.

If you are referring to a different equation or if there's additional context, please let me know, and I'd be happy to assist further!
