$x = \frac{61}{30}$ $x=61/30$

$\frac{200 - 74}{2} = 30 x + 2$ $(200-74)/2 = 30x+2$

First P.E.M.D.A.S.

$\frac{126}{2} = 30 x + 2$ $(color(blue) 126)/2 = 30x+2$

$63 = 30 x + 2$ $color(blue)63=30x+2$

Then get $x$ $x$ by itself on one side and solve

$63 - 2 = 30 x + 2 - 2$ $63 color(red)-color(red)2=30x+2color(red)-color(red)2$
$61 = 30 x$ $61=30x$

$\frac{61}{30} = \frac{30 x}{30}$ $61/color(red)30=(30x)/color(red)30$

$\frac{61}{30} = x$ $61/30 = x$
