Answer:

x = 2

Explanation:

given the equation

2x + 2 = 4x - 2 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

2x - 2x + 2 = 4x - 2x - 2 ( simplify both sides )

2 = 2x - 2 ( add 2 to both sides )

2 + 2 = 2x - 2 + 2 ( simplify both sides )

4 = 2x ( divide both sides by 2 )


(4)/(2) =
(2)/(2) x , that is

2 = x
