Solve the equation using the steps:

4x + 8 - 2x = 2x + 6 - 2 - x

Step 1: Response area to get Response area

Step 2: Response area to get Response area

Step 3: Response area to get Response area

There are Response area solution(s).

Step 1: 4x + 8 - 2x = 2x + 6 - 2 - x

Step 2: 2x + 8 = 2x + 4 - x
Step 3: x = 4

A better and correct way .....

4x + 8 - 2x = 2x + 6 - 2 - x
2x + 8 = x + 4
x = - 4
