Follow the steps to solve for x.

3(x-2)=4x+2
3x-6=4x+2
Now move all variables to one side of the equation.
-6 = [?]x+2
Hint: Subtract 3x from both sides of the equation. Enter the new value of the coefficient.

Here you go;

To move all variables to one side of the equation, we need to subtract 3x from both sides of the equation. Let's do that:

3x - 6 = 4x + 2

Subtracting 3x from both sides gives us:

-6 = 4x - 3x + 2

Simplifying the right side of the equation, we have:

-6 = x + 2

The new coefficient for x is 1.
