Given the following equation:


-3x+2=-4x+4

You need to solve for "x" in order to find its value and solve the equation. To do this, you can follow the steps shown below:

1. You need to apply the Subtraction property of equality by subtracting 2 from both sides of the equation:


\begin{gathered} -3x+2-(2)=-4x+4-(2) \\ -3x=-4x+2 \end{gathered}

2. Now you can apply the Additio property of equality by adding "4x" to both sides of the equation:


\begin{gathered} -3x+(4x)=-4x+2+(4x) \\ x=2 \end{gathered}

Therefore, you get that the solution is:


x=2
