To solve for the problem above, we must first solve for the x first.
First you have to transfer the terms with the same variable, those with the same variables should be at the same side of the equation.
4 + 2  = 4x - 2x , 6 = 4x - 2x, 6 = 2x, 6/2 = 2x/2, 6 = x.
First you add 2 with 4, subtract 2x from 4x then divide the whole equation with 2.

Answer:

The option

Add  \(2\), subtract  \(2x\), then divide by  \(2\)

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

\(2x+4=4x-2\)

Step 1

Adds \(2\) both sides

\(2x+4+2=4x-2+2\)

\(2x+6=4x\)

Step 2

Subtract  \(2x\) both sides

\(2x+6-2x=4x-2x\)

\(6=2x\)

Step 3

Divide by \(2\) both sides

\(6/2=2x/2\)

\(x=3\)
