Question 214126
{{{x+2+2x=x+10}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{3x+2=x+10}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{3x=x+10-2}}} Subtract {{{2}}} from both sides.



{{{3x-x=10-2}}} Subtract {{{x}}} from both sides.



{{{2x=10-2}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{2x=8}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(8)/(2)}}} Divide both sides by {{{2}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=4}}} Reduce.
