The given equation is:

Step 1: Add 4x to both sides

$\begin{gathered} 6x+4x-2=-4x+4x+2 \\ Add\text{ like terms} \\ 10x-2=2 \end{gathered}$

Step 2: Add 2 to both sides

$\begin{gathered} 10x-2+2=2+2 \\ \text{ Add like terms} \\ 10x=4 \end{gathered}$

Step 3: Divide both sides by 10:

$\begin{gathered} (10x)/(10)=(4)/(10) \\ Simplify \\ x=(2)/(5) \end{gathered}$

The solution is x=2/5
