\huge\text{Hey there!}


\huge\textbf{Equation:}


\mathbf{6x + 2 = 2x - 1}


\huge\textbf{SUBTRACT 2x to BOTH SIDES:}


\mathbf{6x + 2 - 2x = 2x - 1 - 2x}


\huge\textbf{Simplify it!}


\mathbf{4x + 2 = -1}


\huge\textbf{SUBTRACT 2 to BOTH SIDES:}


\mathbf{4x + 2 - 2 = -1 - 2}


\huge\textbf{Simplify it!}


\mathbf{4x = -3}


\huge\textbf{DIVIDE 4 to BOTH SIDES:}


\mathbf{(4x)/(4) = (-3)/(4)}


\huge\textbf{Simplify it!}


\mathbf{x = (-3)/(4)}


\mathbf{x = -(3)/(4)}


\huge\text{Therefore, your answer should be: \boxed{\mathsf{x = -(3)/(4)}}}\huge\checkmark


\huge\text{Good luck on your assigiment \& enjoy your day!}
