1. The problem asks to solve example number 2, but since no specific problem statement was provided, I will assume you want a general approach to solving algebraic equations. 2. Typically, example number 2 in algebra involves solving a linear equation such as $ax + b = c$. 3. The formula to solve for $x$ is: $$x = \frac{c - b}{a}$$ 4. Important rules: - You can add or subtract the same number from both sides of the equation. - You can multiply or divide both sides by the same nonzero number. 5. For instance, if example 2 is $3x + 4 = 10$, then: 6. Subtract 4 from both sides: $$3x + \cancel{4} - \cancel{4} = 10 - 4$$ $$3x = 6$$ 7. Divide both sides by 3: $$\frac{3x}{\cancel{3}} = \frac{6}{\cancel{3}}$$ $$x = 2$$ 8. So the solution is $x = 2$. If you provide the exact example 2, I can solve it specifically.
