Question 527980
"Four more than two times a number is six." translates to {{{2x+4=6}}}



{{{2x+4=6}}} Start with the given equation.



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



{{{2x=2}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(2)/(2)}}} Divide both sides by {{{2}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=1}}} Reduce.
