Math Problem Statement

2x-2

Solution

The expression you provided, 2x22x - 2, is a linear expression. If you'd like to solve it or simplify it, it depends on whether you're given more information, such as an equation to solve or additional operations to perform.

If you're looking to solve for xx when the expression equals 0:

2x2=02x - 2 = 0

Steps to solve:

  1. Add 2 to both sides of the equation:

2x=22x = 2

  1. Divide both sides by 2:

x=1x = 1

So, x=1x = 1 is the solution.
