Explanation

To solve the equation:

$x - x = 2$

we can start by finding a common denominator for the terms on the left side.

The common denominator for $frac{x}{2}$ and $frac{x}{4}$ is 4, so we rewrite the equation as:

$frac{2x}{4} - frac{x}{4} = 2$

Now, combine the fractions on the left side:

$2 x - x = 2$

This simplifies to:

$x/4 = 2$

Now, multiply both sides by 4 to isolate $x$

$x = 8$
