Isolate x term: Isolate the term with the variable x. To do this, we need to subtract 10 from both sides of the equation to get rid of the constant term on the left side. 2x+10−10=34−10
Perform subtraction: Perform the subtraction on both sides.2x=24
Divide by coefficient: Divide both sides by the coefficient of x, which is 2, to solve for x.22x=224
Find value of x: Perform the division to find the value of x.x=12
