Question

$$4x-2=6-8x$$

Solve for x

$x=\frac{2}{3}\approx 0.666666667$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Add $8x$ to both sides.

$$4x-2+8x=6$$

Combine $4x$ and $8x$ to get $12x$.

$$12x-2=6$$

Add $2$ to both sides.

$$12x=6+2$$

Add $6$ and $2$ to get $8$.

$$12x=8$$

Divide both sides by $12$.

$$x=\frac{8}{12}$$

Reduce the fraction $\frac{8}{12}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $4$.

$$x=\frac{2}{3}$$
