Question #f4080

Answer 1

`x=66`

Explanation:

You would set up your equation like this:

two times a number (x) minus two is equal to that same number (x) plus 64:

`2x-2=x+64`

move your variables to one side of the equals sign and everything else to the other:

`2x-2(+2)(-x)=x+64(+2)(-x)`

solve for x:

`x=66`
