Answer:x=1
Step-by-step explanation: 2x+8-6=4
2x+2=4
2x=2
x=1
Answer:
[tex]x = 1[/tex].
Step-by-step explanation:
Apply the associative property of addition to rewrite the left-hand side of the equation.
The two addition operators on the left-hand side are typically evaluated from left to right.
[tex](2x + 8) - 6 = 4[/tex].
However, by the associative property of addition, the second addition can be evaluated before the first:
[tex]2x + (8 - 6) = 4[/tex].
[tex]2x + 2 = 4[/tex].
Move all terms with the unknown ([tex]x[/tex] in this case) to one side of the equation and move all numbers to the other side. For example, add [tex]-2[/tex] to both side of this equation will move the number [tex]2[/tex] to the right-hand side.
[tex]2x +2 -2 = 4 - 2[/tex].
[tex]2x = 2[/tex].
Multiply both sides of the equation by [tex]1/2[/tex] to find the value of [tex]x[/tex].
[tex]x = 1[/tex].
