-4x%2B2=3x-4 Start with the given equation.


-4x=3x-4-2 Subtract 2 from both sides.


-4x-3x=-4-2 Subtract 3x from both sides.


-7x=-4-2 Combine like terms on the left side.


-7x=-6 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%28-6%29%2F%28-7%29 Divide both sides by -7 to isolate x.


x=6%2F7 Reduce.
