The answer will be x=-3/2 because first you need to remove the variable to the left side, then you change its sign
6x+2=4x-1
6x-4x+2=-1
Then you move the constant to the right side and change its sign so its
6x-4x=-1-2
After that you subtract the like terms which is 6x and 4x

So its
2x=-1-2
Then you calculate -1 and -2

So it turns into -3

2x=-3

After that you divide both sides by the equation by 2

So your final answer is going to be x=-3/2
