2(x - 1) = 10
First, divide both sides by 2. / Your problem should look like: [tex]x - 1 = \frac{10}{2} [/tex]
Second, simplify [tex] \frac{10}{2} [/tex] to 5. / Your problem should look like: [tex]x - 1 = 5[/tex]
Third, add 1 to both sides. / Your problem should look like: [tex]x = 5 + 1[/tex]
Fourth, add 5 + 1 to get 6. / Your problem should look like: [tex]x = 6[/tex]
Answer: x = 6
