    Firstly, you need to combine like terms within that side of the equation.

    Take - 3x + 9x and you'll get 6x.

    Next, combine like terms on the other side of the equation.

    Take - 5-1 and you'll get - 6

    So far you should have:

    6x+2=4x-6

    Subtract 4x on each side! Cancel 4x-4x! Solve 6x-4x!

    Now you'll get:

    2x+2=-6

    Subtract 2 on each side!

    Cancel out 2-2 and solve - 6-2.

    You should get:

    2x=-8

    Lastly, divide 2 on each side.

    Cancel out 2/2 and solve 8/2.

    Your final answer should be:

    X = - 4
