2x+2=-59 I need help I don’t know the answer

x= -30.5

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve equations like this, we need to have all the x terms on one side, and all the other terms on the other side. For this equation so far, the x term (2x) is not alone (there is a +2) so we need to move the +2 to the other side to have x by itself. Whatever you do to one side of equation, you must also do to the other side to keep the equation equal. Therefore we can subtract 2 from both sides which moves the two to the other side while keeping the equation equal. In order to move a term to the other side, we must do the operation opposite to what the term has. E.g. +2 is adding 2, so to move it to the other side, we need to subtract 2.

2x +2 -2 = -59 -2

Which cancels out the 2 on the left side and gives us:

2x = -59-2

2x = -61

Then we just need to remove the 2.

In this case, this 2 is being multiplied to the x, so to move it, we will need to divide both sides by 2.

2x/2 = -61/2

which finally gives us:

x = -30.5

Hope this helped!

goog may have it for you

b) well because you get well
