Hi ... okay
The first thing you want to do Is get all the like things together such as numbers with variables and number without them
In this case 4 and - 6 are alike and therefore 2x must be by itself
So subtract 4 from both sides of the equation
You do this because you need to opposite + 4 and the opposite of + 4 Is - 4
So ...
2x + 4 - 4 = - 6 - 4
Then you would have ...
2x = - 10
Can you simplify that?
Divide - 10 by 2
-10 : 2 = - 5
That means x = - 5
X = - 5
