Answer 1

2x + 4 = -1 * (-7x + 6)

2x + 4 = 7x + -6

4 = 5x + -6

10 = 5x

x = 2

Answer 2

x = 2

Explanation:

2x + 4 = -(-7x + 6)

Distribute the negative sign on the right side. It is the same as having a factor of -1 left of the parentheses.

2x + 4 = 7x - 6

Subtract 2x from both sides. Add 6 to both sides.

10 = 5x

Divide both sides by 5 and switch sides.

x = 2
