Answer:

x = 2

Explanation:

6x + 2 = 9x - 4

We want terms with x on the left side and numbers on the right side.

Subtract 9x from both sides.

6x - 9x + 2 = 9x - 9x - 4

-3x + 2 = -4

Subtract 2 from both sides.

-3x + 2 - 2 = -4 - 2

-3x = -6

Divide both sides by -3.

-3x/(-3) = -6/(-3)

x = 2
