Solve each equation

2x + 2+x = - 22

x = - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2x + 2 + x = - 22

(2x + x) + (2) = - 22

3x + 2 = - 22

3x + 2 = - 22

Step 2: Subtract 2 from both sides.

3x + 2 - 2 = - 22 - 2

3x = - 24

Step 3: Divide both sides by 3.

(3x/3) = ( - 24/3)

x = - 8

-8

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2x+2+x=-22

(2x+x) + (2) = -22 (Combine Like Terms)

3x+2=-22

3x+2=-22

Step 2: Subtract 2 from both sides.

3x+2-2=-22-2

3x=-24

Step 3: Divide both sides by 3.

3x
