Write Equation: First, let's write down the equation we need to solve: 3×2=4x−2. We need to simplify both sides of the equation before we can solve for x. On the left side, we multiply 3 by 2. 3×2=6. So the equation now reads 6=4x−2.
Simplify Equation: Next, we need to isolate the variable x on one side of the equation.To do this, we can add 2 to both sides of the equation to move the −2 over to the other side.6+2=4x−2+2.This simplifies to 8=4x.
Isolate Variable: Now, we divide both sides of the equation by 4 to solve for x. 8÷4=4x÷4. This simplifies to 2=x.
