Answer:

x=12

Explanation:

Simplifying

30 + 4x + 2 = 8 + 6x

Reorder the terms:

30 + 2 + 4x = 8 + 6x

Combine like terms: 30 + 2 = 32

32 + 4x = 8 + 6x

Solving

32 + 4x = 8 + 6x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-6x' to each side of the equation.

32 + 4x + -6x = 8 + 6x + -6x

Combine like terms: 4x + -6x = -2x

32 + -2x = 8 + 6x + -6x

Combine like terms: 6x + -6x = 0

32 + -2x = 8 + 0

32 + -2x = 8

Add '-32' to each side of the equation.

32 + -32 + -2x = 8 + -32

Combine like terms: 32 + -32 = 0

0 + -2x = 8 + -32

-2x = 8 + -32

Combine like terms: 8 + -32 = -24

-2x = -24

Divide each side by '-2'.

x = 12

Simplifying

x = 12
