Question 52722
-4x – 2 = -6 – 2x

Add 2x to each side of the equation.

-4x - 2 + 2x = -6 - 2x + 2x

-4x + 2x = -2x

-2x + 2x = 0

Therefore:

-2x - 2 = -6

Add 2 to each side of the equation.

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

-2 + 2 = 0

-6 + 2 = -4

Therefore:

-2x = -4

Divide each side by -2

-2x/-2 = -4/-2

x = 2


Answer:

x = 2
