Solve 4x + 6 = 2

The solution of 4x + 6 = 2 is x = -1.

Explain it step by step in chatMake a short video of it
The lines y = 4x + 6 and y = 2 meet at x = -1-6-4-224-20-10102030x = -1y = 4x + 6y = 2
The lines y = 4x + 6 and y = 2 meet at x = -1. The solution of the equation is the x-coordinate of the point where the two sides are equal.

How to work it out

  1. 1

    The goal is to get x alone. Undo the operations in the opposite order: first the addition, then the multiplication.

    4x+6=24x + 6 = 2
  2. 2

    Subtract 6 from both sides:

    4x+6−6=2−6 ⇒ 4x=−44x + 6 - 6 = 2 - 6 \ \Rightarrow\ 4x = -4
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 4:

    4x4=−44 ⇒ x=−1\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{-4}{4} \ \Rightarrow\ x = -1
  4. 4

    Check: put x = -1 back into the equation.
