6-2x=50

the answer the computer gave me is wrong and it is x=22

6-2*22=16  I have to equal 50.   so my answer is x=28

6-2*28=50 but you dont know what x= at the beging so how do you solve the problem to have x=28

-22 is correct...proof....

6 - 2(-22)  = 50

6 + 44= 50

50 = 50

6 - 2x = 50       subtract 6 from both sides

-2x = 44        divide both sides by -2

x = 44 / -2  

x = -22

And that's it, gar12 !!!
