x=2 please show me how to check each answer

First, your solution, is incorrect. Since x + 2 = 0, then
Second, there’s another solution, as
Since x = - 2, we will substitute - 2 for x into the original equation to determine if this value for x makes the equation true

x = - 2
becomes:

2(4) - 6 = 2
. This is true.

The same concept applies to the check for the 2nd solution:
