Which is the first step in solving
X-2 = 2?

The first step is to find a number that when subtracted from 2 gives you 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The algebraic part of this problem would be to add the -2 (adding 2 to both sides) to both sides, so

first x-2=2, then x-2(+2)=2(+2)  which would give us,

x=4

*note: the parenthesis are just to show that we are adding the 2, to make it more understandable.

yes the total will be same because in both of them the expression.is rearranged but their sign remains the same hence it hss just been shuffled
