2x - 4 = 6

2x = 6 + 4

2x = 10

x = 10 : 2

x = 5

This is a simple equation that is easily solved.

2x-4=6 You just have to isolate the variable, which is x, to get the solution.

So what you can do, is to get rid of the -4 to isolate the variable by adding 4 to the other side of the equation.

2x-4 (+4)=6+4

2x=10

Then you can isolate the variable by doing the opposite action it says to do, so division.

x=5
