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

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
