\huge\textsf{Hey there!}


\mathsf{2x + 4 = 4x - 88}


\huge\textsf{SUBTRACT 4x to BOTH SIDES}


\mathsf{2x - 4 - 4x = 4x - 88 - 4x}


\textsf{CANCEL out: 4x - 4x}


\huge\textsf{NEW EQUATION: -2x + 4 = -88}


\huge\textsf{SUBTRACT 4 to BOTH SIDES}


\mathsf{-2x + 4 - 4 = -88 - 4}


\textsf{CANCEL out: 4 - 4}


\textsf{KEEP: -88 - 4 because it gives you the value of -92 (which helps you solve for}\\\textsf{the x-value)}


\mathsf{-2x = -92}


\huge\textsf{DIVIDE -2 to BOTH SIDES}


\mathsf{(-2x)/(-2)=(-92)/(-2)}


\textsf{CANCEL out:} \mathsf{( -2)/(-2)}


\textsf{KEEP: }\mathsf{(-92)/(-2)}\textsf{ because it gives you the answer of x }


\mathsf{\bf x = 46}


\boxed{\boxed{\huge\textsf{Answer: x = \bf 46}^\circ}}\huge\checkmark

Answer:

x = 46

Explanation:

The angles are corresponding angles and corresponding angles are equal.

2x+4 = 4x-88

Subtract 2x from each side

2x+4 -2x= 4x-2x-88

4 = 2x-88

Add 88 to each side

4+88 = 2x

92 = 2x

Divide by 2

92/2 = 2x/2

46=x
