Given the algebraic equation:

x +  2 = 10

Solve for x.

Solution:

In order to solve for x, we simply need to transpose 2 on the other side of the equation, hence it must be taken to note that in transposing any number or term, the sign of that number or term changes.

x + 2 = 10

x = 10 - 2

x = 8

Final answer:

x = 8
