What's the answer to 4x + 6 = 2 (3x - 4)

4x+6=2 (3x-4) (simplify to the right)

4x+6=6x-8 (move all terms not containing x to the right of the equation)

-2x=6=-8

-2x=-14 (divide each term by - 2)

x=7

4x + 6 = 2 (3x - 4)

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

4x + 6 = 2 (3x - 4)

4x + 6 = (2) (3x) + (2) (-4) (Distribute)

4x + 6 = 6x + - 8

4x + 6 = 6x - 8

Step 2: Subtract 6x from both sides.

4x + 6 - 6x = 6x - 8 - 6x

- 2x + 6 = - 8

Step 3: Subtract 6 from both sides.

- 2x + 6 - 6 = - 8 - 6

- 2x = - 14

Step 4: Divide both sides by - 2.

- 2x - 2 = - 14 - 2

x=7
