multiply both sides by 2 to isolate x and distribute the 2
2x -2 = x
add 2 to both sides
2x = x + 2
subtract x from both sides
x = 2
I did this on paper differently and was getting different shit like 1 and -11/3

Careful you don't dig deeper and unravel the causal nexus, tearing apart the very fabric of the universe itself. ;'-)

Seconded. I guess this makes us part of the upper 15% (inflection mine). Here in French Canada prix(price) and coût(cost) are used interchangeably on price stickers. The correct answer to a math problem shouldn't have linguistic features.

Tell me I am bad at math
X = 1 + X/2
subtract 1 from both sides
X - 1 = X/2
multiply both sides by 2 to isolate x and distribute the 2
2x -2 = x
add 2 to both sides
2x = x + 2
subtract x from both sides
x = 2
