2X-6=4

1: Understand what is meant by "solve the following equation... " Ans: We are required to isolate x and find its value 2: Treat the equal sign as a magic bridge that reverses operation. 3: Start moving everything other than X to the other side of the equals sign accordingly. First move the -6 to the other side to make it +6: 2X=4+6 2X=10 Then take the 2 to the other side as well, causing it to divide this side of the equation by 2 (multiplication becomes division on other side of the equals sign). X=10/2 Final Ans: X=5
