Sure, let’s solve the equation step-by-step.
1. We start with the original equation:
[tex]\[
x + 2 = 0
\][/tex]
2. To isolate the variable [tex]\( x \)[/tex], we need to get rid of the constant term on the left side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting 2 from both sides of the equation:
[tex]\[
x + 2 - 2 = 0 - 2
\][/tex]
3. Simplifying both sides, we get:
[tex]\[
x = -2
\][/tex]
So, the solution to the equation [tex]\( x + 2 = 0 \)[/tex] is:
[tex]\[
x = -2
\][/tex]
