How do u solve

2x + 22 = 12

-5

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to eliminate 22, so x is alone.

2x+22=12

So we subtract 22 from both sides.

2x+22=12

-22 - 22

2x=-10

Now we have to divide 2 on both sides so x is alone.

2x=-10

:2. : 2

x=-5

We can always check

2 (-5) + 22=12

-10+22=12

12=12
