Combine terms with x: Combine the terms with x on the left side of the equation.(23x)+(4x−6)=2To combine, find a common denominator, which is 4:(46x)+(4x−6)=2(46x+x−6)=2
Simplify and solve for x: Simplify the expression and solve for x.47x−6=2Multiply both sides by 4 to clear the denominator:7x−6=8
Isolate x: Isolate x.7x−6=8Add 6 to both sides:7x=14
Divide to solve for x: Divide both sides by 7 to solve for x.7x=14x=714x=2
