How do you solve 2x=10

Hello!!

So when we have 2x = 10 we are looking for what x equals. This means you'll want to eliminate what you can to get your answer. What you do on one side must be done on the other. Let's give that a go, sha'll we?

2x = 10

We need to use the inverse operation to eliminate a factor. Since 2x is 2 times x we'll have to divide it.

2x/2 = 10

2 divided by 2 cancels each other out and leaves us with the following;

x = 10

So, x = 10

I hope I helped!!
