Answer:

x = 41

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract the lower term in both sides

3x - x = 2x

2x - 84 = -2

Add 84 in both sides

84 -2 = 82

2x = 82

Divide 2 in both sides

2x/2 = x

82/2 = 41

Simplify

x = 41

Answer

x = 41

Answer:

[tex]\huge \boxed{x=41}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

First thing you do is add by 2 from both sides of equation.

[tex]\displaystyle x-2+2=3x-84+2[/tex]

Simplify.

[tex]\displaystyle x=3x-82[/tex]

Then you subtract by 3x from both sides of equation.

[tex]\displaystyle x-3x=3x-82-3x[/tex]

Simplify.

[tex]\displaystyle -2x=-82[/tex]

Divide by -2 from both sides of equation.

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{-2x}{-2}=\frac{-82}{-2}[/tex]

Simplify, to find the answer.

[tex]\displaystyle -82\div-2=41[/tex]

[tex]\large \boxed{x=41}[/tex], which is our answer.
