That's easy. You should know that working with equations as long as you do to both sides the same you're OK. In the case of your problem:
2-x=2 Add x to both sides
2-x+x= 2+x on the left -x and +x cancel one another, so you get:
2= 2+x To further simplify, subtract 2 from both sides:
0= x or, just to write it more elegantly:
x= 0
