Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

5x-4x+2=6

x+2=6

x=6-2

x=4

Answer 2

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

first you would factor the -2(2x-1). -2x2x= -4x, -2x-1= 2

the equation would then be 5x-4x+2=6

add the x's together which turns the equation to 1x+2=6

minus 2 from both sides of the equation which gives you x=4
