Subtract x from both sides of the equation and rewrite the remaining values.

Question

x
=
x + 2
−
x
−
x

=

Answer 1

To subtract \( x \) from both sides of the equation \( x = x + 2 - x \), we start with the equation:

\[ x = x + 2 - x \]

Now, we subtract \( x \) from both sides:

\[ x - x = (x + 2 - x) - x \]

This simplifies to:

\[ 0 = 2 - x \]

So the rewritten equation is:

\[ 0 = 2 - x \] or equivalently \( x = 2 \).
