Steps for Solving Linear Equation

To find the opposite of $x-4$, find the opposite of each term.

$$2-x-\left(-4\right)=-2$$

The opposite of $-4$ is $4$.

$$2-x+4=-2$$

Add $2$ and $4$ to get $6$.

$$6-x=-2$$

Subtract $6$ from both sides.

$$-x=-2-6$$

Subtract $6$ from $-2$ to get $-8$.

$$-x=-8$$

Multiply both sides by $-1$.

$$x=8$$
