Answer:

x = 1/5

Explanation:

2x − 4 + 2x = −6x −2

Combine the like terms (2x)

Result:

4 − 4 = − 6 − 2

Add 4 to both sides:

4 − 4 + 4 = − 6 − 2 + 4

Result:

4 = − 6 + 2

Add 6x to both sides.

4 + 6 = − 6 + 2 + 6

Result:

1 0 = 2

Divide both sides by 10:

1 0 / 1 0 = 2/ 1 0

Result:

x = 1/5

Therefore, x = 1/5 would be your answer.
