Answer 2

`\boxed{x = 2}`

Explanation:

Hey there!

To find x we need to finagle it out by combining like terms and using the communicative property.

x - 2 + 4 = 3x - 2

Simplify

x + 2 = 3x - 2

-x to both sides

2 = 2x - 2

+2 to both sides

4 = 2x

Divide both sides by 2

x = 2

Hope this helps :)
