    x=-26

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Distributive property first (both sides)

    you would get

    4x+2 = 3x-24

    next you will subtract 3x from both sides

    1x+2=-24

    add 24 to both sides

    1x+26=0

    move 26 to the other side but since you flipped it you have to make it negative

    x=-26
