2x=4=3x

that means 2x=4, 2x=3x, .. wait..  2x=3x??  that&#39;s impossible unless x was 0, but then neither would equal 4.  ???
you must have meant either &lt;font color=red&gt;&lt;b&gt;2x+4=3x&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; or &lt;font color=blue&gt;&lt;b&gt;2x=4+3x&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;.

&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;font color=red&gt;&lt;b&gt;2x+4=3x&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;:&lt;br&gt;
2x+4=3x  minus 2x both sides
4=3x-2x  simplify
4=x  there ya go!
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;font color=blue&gt;&lt;b&gt;2x=4+3x&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;:&lt;br&gt;
2x=4+3x  minus 3x both sides
2x-3x=4  simplify
-x=4  multiply both sides by -1
x=-4 there ya go.

Hope this helped.
