Answer

$x = 4$

Work Step by Step

$\textit{Step-by-Step Breakdown}$ $6 = x + 2$ $\textit{Step 1:}$ Isolate the variable 𝑥 by getting rid of the constant term on the right side. To do this, subtract $2$ from both sides of the equation: $6−2=x+2−2$ $\textit{Step 2:}$ Simplify both sides $4=x$ $\textit{Step 3:}$ Rewrite the solution $x=4$ $Step-by-Step$ $Check$ $\textit{Step1: }$ Write down the original equation $6=x+2$ $Step2$: Substitute $𝑥=4$ into the equation $6=4+2$ $Step3$: Simplify the right side of the equation $6=6$ Since both sides of the equation are equal, $𝑥=4$ is indeed the correct solution.
