The given expression : 5x - 6 - x = 2x + 2
Arrange the variable 'x' and constants together :
5x -x - 2x = 6 + 2
Simplify the Varibales :
5x -x - 2x = 6 + 2
x(5 - 1 - 2) = 6 + 2
x(5 - 3) = 6 + 2
x(2) = 6 + 2
2x = 6 + 2
Simplify the constant terms :
2x = 6 + 2
2x = 8
Divide both side by 2 :
2x/2 = 8/2
x = 4
Answer : x = 4
