Question

What is the answer to this equation

Answer 1

You want to get the variable (x) alone.

In order to do that, we have to get one variable instead of the 2 that's already there.

We can do that by dividing the variable by its own coefficient.

`(2x)/(2) = 22`

Then, what you do to the left, you must do to the right.

`(2x)/(2) = (22)/(2)`

This simplifies down to
`x = 11`.
