Answer :

5x + 2 = 22
5x = 22 - 2
5x = 20
x = 20/5
x = 4
Salutations!

[tex]5x+2=22[/tex]

To solve this, we need to isolate the number 2 by shifting it infront of 22. By this, we can easily solve the equation.

[tex]5x = 22 -2[/tex]

We need to be very careful while isolating the number, make sure the operation is opposite.

[tex]5x = 22 -2[/tex]

[tex]5x = 20[/tex]

[tex]x=20/5[/tex]

[tex]x=4[/tex]

Hope I helped (:

Have a great day!
