Solve for x 4x-6+2x=18

$4 x - 6 + 2 x = 18$

Step 1

Add $4 x$ and $2 x$ .

$6 x - 6 = 18$

Step 2

Move all terms not containing $x$ to the right side of the equation.

Add $6$ to both sides of the equation.

$6 x = 18 + 6$

Add $18$ and $6$ .

$6 x = 24$

Step 3

Divide each term in $6 x = 24$ by $6$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $6 x = 24$ by $6$ .

$\frac{6 x}{6} = \frac{24}{6}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $6$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{6 x}{6} = \frac{24}{6}$

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$x = \frac{24}{6}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $24$ by $6$ .

$x = 4$
