You have two types of terms here, two variables (terms with x attached to then) and a constant (a number by itself) You just need to get the two different types of terms individually, on either side of the equal sign: -4x=-2x+6 Add 2x on both sides to remove the variable from the right hand sign -2x=6 Divide both sides by -2(the coefficient of x) x= -3 x is on the LHS and -3 is on the RHS
