Isolate x term: Isolate the term with the variable x.To do this, we need to get rid of the constant term on the same side as the variable. We can subtract 4 from both sides of the equation.2x+4−4=16−42x=12
Solve for x: Solve for x.Now that we have isolated the term with x, we can solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by the coefficient of x, which is 2.22x=212x=6
