x%2B6=2x-4 Start with the given equation.


x=2x-4-6 Subtract 6 from both sides.


x-2x=-4-6 Subtract 2x from both sides.


-x=-4-6 Combine like terms on the left side.


-x=-10 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%28-10%29%2F%28-1%29 Divide both sides by -1 to isolate x.


x=10 Reduce.

Answer:

So the solution is x=10. To graph this, simply set up a number line and plot the point x=10 on the number line.
