[tex]5x+2=22[/tex]
To solve this, we need to isolate the number 2 by shifting it infront of 22. By this, we can easily solve the equation.
[tex]5x = 22 -2[/tex]
We need to be very careful while isolating the number, make sure the operation is opposite.
[tex]5x = 22 -2[/tex]
[tex]5x = 20[/tex]
[tex]x=20/5[/tex]
[tex]x=4[/tex]
Hope I helped (:
Have a great day!
