Your goal is to get "x" by itself on one side


4x-2=90

Add +2 to each side


4x-2+2=90+2


4x=92

Divide 92 by 4

92รท4=23


x=23

Firstly, you want to get 4x alone, so to do this, you add 2 to both sides, as you always do the opposite operation.
This then becomes
4x=92
To get x alone, you then divide both sides by 4.
92/4=23
Therefore, x= 23
Hope this helps :)
