Answer
$x = 10$
Work Step by Step
We begin by combining like terms together to obtain the equation:
$2x + 2 = 22$
Next, we isolate the variable $x$ by subtracting $2$ from both sides of the equation as shown below:
$2x + 2 - 2 = 22 - 2$
Simplifying we have:
$2x = 20$
We then divide through by the coefficient of the variable as shown below:
$\frac{2}{2}x = \frac{20}{2}$
Simplifying, we have:
$x = 10$
Therefore, the equation has a possible solution at the point $x = 10$
