Answer: x doesn't really have a value, it is determined by the question and is unknown. For example, an equation like (2x = 6) would be asking for the value of x, but an equation that asks you to simplify would have it different, say 4(2x+8) simplified is 8x+32. As I said before, it depends on what they are asking for, otherwise, it is an unknown value.
