Given the equation:
2x + 10 = 30
Solve the equation.
Solution:
In order to solve for the equation, we simply transpose 10 to the opposite side of the equation, hence it must be taken to note that in transposing a number, the sign changes.
2x + 10 = 30
2x = 30 - 10
2x = 20
Divide both sides by 2 in order to determine the value of x.
2x/2 = 20/2
x = 10
Final answer:
x = 10
