Both, Spencer and Jeremiah are correct. We can verify this by testing their methods.

Spencer's method:


6x - 2 = - 4x + 2


6x - 2 + 4x= - 4x + 2 + 4x


10x - 2 = 2


10x = 2 + 2


10x = 4


x = (4)/(10)


x = 0.4

Jeremiah's method:


6x - 2 = - 4x + 2


6x - 2 - 6x = - 4x + 2 - 6x


- 2 = - 10x + 2


- 2 - 2 = - 10x


- 4 = - 10x


( - 4)/( - 10) = x


0.4 = x

As seen, we get the correct answer by using Spencer's and Jeremiah's method. So, we can say that they both are correct.
