SIMPLIFY BOTH SIDES OF THE EQUATION
[tex] 2^{2} - 6x = 56[/tex]
[tex]4 + -6x = 56[/tex]
[tex]-6x + 4 = 56[/tex]
SUBTRACT 4 FROM BOTH SIDES
-6x + 4 = 56
- 4 -4
___________
-6x = 52
DIVIDE BOTH SIDES BY -6 (NEGATIVE 6)
[tex] \frac{-6x}{-6} = \frac{52}{-6} [/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{-26}{3} [/tex]
FINAL ANSWER: [tex]x = \frac{-26}{3} [/tex]
