Solve x + x + 2 + 2x = -2.-2-101
remember, you can do ANYTHING to an equation as long as you do it to both sidesx+x+2+2x=-2regropu to add x's1x+1x+2x+2=-24x+2=-2minus 2 from both sides4x+2-2=-2-24x+0=-44x=-4divide both sides by 44x/4=-4/4(4/4)x=-11x=-1x=-1
x + x + 2 + 2x = -2x + x + 2x = -2 -2-//- = -4 2x + 2x = -44x = -4x = -4 /4x =-1
