Answer:

x = 2

Explanation:

Add all the x's on the left side

4x

Add all the whole number together on the left side

-2

Combine the 2 terms together

4x - 2

Add all the x's on the right side

x

Add all the whole number together on the right side

+4

Combine the 2 terms together

x + 4

Make the expressions equal to each other

4x - 2 = x + 4

Minus x from both sides

3x - 2 = 4

Add 2 to both sides to isolate 3x

3x = 6

Divide both sides by 3 to isolate x

x = 2
