Answer:

-3

Explanation:

To find the value of x, you need to get rid of parentheses! So, 4*x=4x. 6*4=24. Now we have, -2x+6=4x+24. Then we want to get all the x on one side, and the other numbers on the other side. We can add -2x to make it 0, but to make it equal, you need to add it to the other side. So, 4x+2x=6x. You can subtract 24 too! After we do all that, we get: -18=6x. To get x, we need to divide by 6. 6x/6=x. -18/6=-3.
