Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :


-2*x-8-(-6*x+4)=0


Pull out like factors :


4x - 12 = 4 • (x - 3)


Solve : 4 = 0


This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.


Solve : x-3 = 0


Add 3 to both sides of the equation :

x = 3


The answer is x=3
