Solve for X:x+4−2=6+1 x + 4 - 2 = 6 + 1 x+4−2=6+1
First, simplify both sides of the equation:
Left side: x+4−2=x+2 x + 4 - 2 = x + 2 x+4−2=x+2
Right side: 6+1=7 6 + 1 = 7 6+1=7
Now the equation is: x+2=7 x + 2 = 7 x+2=7
Subtract 2 from both sides to isolatex x x:
x+2−2=7−2 x + 2 - 2 = 7 - 2 x+2−2=7−2
Simplifying gives:
x=5 x = 5 x=5
