X plus 2 divided by 2 plus x - 2 divided by 5 equals 2. Solve for X. Does anyone know how to do this and can show me the steps?

You need to express the problem a little more clearly. If you mean:
(x + 2) / 2 + (x - 2) / 5 = 2
Then you can solve it like this:
First, multiply both sides of the equation by 10 (the smallest number that is divisible by both two and five):
10(x + 2) / 2 + 10(x - 2) / 5 = 20
Then you can take care of the division on the left:
5(x + 2) + 2(x - 2) = 20
And then do the multiplication:
5x + 10 + 2x - 4 = 20
Group like terms:
7x + 6 = 20
Move the 6 across to the other side:
7x = 20 - 6
7x = 14
And finally, divide everything by 7:
7x / 7 = 14 / 7
x = 2

Solve this quadratic equation using the quadratic formula x2 - 6x 6 0?
if this is x squared -6x+6=0 then -6=b, a=1, c=6 6+ square root of -6 squared-4(6x1) - 6+ square root of (36-24) - 6+ square root of 12 - 6+ square root of 4 x square root of 3 - 6 + (2x square root of 3) - that is all divided by 2 multiplied by a meaning it is divided by 2. so x= 6 + or - (2 square root 3) divided by 2 srry steps are jmbled -
4x plus 5 equals 6x -7?
4x+5=6x-7 To solve this, us the 5 steps for solving an equation: 1. Eliminate parentheses/Distribute Not applicable. No parentheses or need to distribute. 2. Add like terms. Not applicable. No like terms. 3. Eliminate the variable on one side or the other. 4x+5=6x-7 Reverse the sign of 4x, making it -4x and put it in on the left side and the right side. This makes it: 4x-4x+5=6x-7-4x Now add like terms 5=2x-7 4. Eliminate the constant term on the side of the variable. 5=2x-7 Reverse the constant term on the side of the variable (-7 becomes +7) and put one on each side: 5+7=2x-7+7 Now add like terms: 12=2x 5. Solve for the variable by dividing both sides by the coefficient 12=2x This rule means that whatever the number is before x (in this case, 2), divide the other side by it. 12 divided by 2=2x divided by 2 And solve 6=x
What steps to solve 5x plus 5 equals 25?
5X + 5 = 25 subtract 5 from each side 5X + 5 - 5 = 25 - 5 5X = 20 divide both sides integers by 5 (5/5)X = 20/5 X = 4 -----------check in original equation by inserting 4 into X place 5(4) + 5 = 25 20 + 5 = 25 25 = 25 -----------checks
