Question

how do i solve 6x+2=-2x+22

Answer 1

6x+2=-2x+22

Move -2x to the other side

Sign changes from -2x to +2x

6x+2x+2=-2x+2x+22

6x+2x+2= 22

8x+2= 22

Move +2 to the other side

8x+2-2= 22-2

8x= 22-2

8x= 20

Divide both sides by 8

8x/8= 20/8

x= 20/8

Reduce fraction by dividing by 4

20/4= 5

8/4= 2

Answer:

x= 5/2
