Answer:
x = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
hi there!
im not sure if the x between the 2's is a x as in a variable or if it is multiplication sign. im going to solve the problem as if it is a multiplication sign but if that is wrong then please let me know!
2 * 2 + x - 4 = 0
is our equation that we are working with ^
first step is, following the pemdas we multiply *2 with its self
( ^ parentheses, exponents, multiplication/ division making sure to solve it left to right, addition and subtraction still making sure to follow the left to right rule )
2 * 2 + x - 4 = 0
2 * 2
= 4 + x - 4 + 0
then we add positive 4 and negative 4 together, canceling eachother out the giving us the answer of x = 0
4 + x - 4 + 0
4 + - 4 = 0
x = 0
i hope this helps you! have a good rest of your day :)
