The statement that describes the correct process for solving the equation 2x + 6 = 22 and arrives at the correct solution is: C. Subtract 6 from both sides and then divide by 2.

Equation

Given:

Equation= 2x - 6 = 22

Solving for x

Hence:

2x - 6 = 22

Re-arrange and substract 6 from both side

2x=22-6

2x=16

Divide both side by 2x

x=16/2

x=8

Therefore the statement that describes the correct process for solving the equation 2x + 6 = 22 and arrives at the correct solution is: C. Subtract 6 from both sides and then divide by 2.
