Question

Which is the first step in solving
X-2 = 2?

Answer 1

The first step is to find a number that when subtracted from 2 gives you 2.

Explanation:

The algebraic part of this problem would be to add the -2 (adding 2 to both sides) to both sides, so

first x-2=2, then x-2(+2)=2(+2) which would give us,

x=4

*note: the parenthesis are just to show that we are adding the 2, to make it more understandable.
