Subtract x from both sides of the equation. You get 2 = -2 which is incorrect and nonsensical.

I know that, but @Urist@lemmy.blahaj.zone said that most of us here are bad at basic algebra. Not that I'm great at it (I had an 8 average in all 4 maths in uni), but I do believe that most of us here were correct. This is unsolvable using classic algebra.
