Given the equation 2x + 4 = 4x − 2, select the reasoning that correctly solves for x. (1 point)


Add 2, subtract 2x, then divide by 2.
Add 2, subtract 4x, then divide by −2.
Subtract 4, subtract 2x, then divide by −2.
Subtract 4, subtract 4x, then divide by 2.

To solve for the problem above, we must first solve for the x first.
First you have to transfer the terms with the same variable, those with the same variables should be at the same side of the equation.
4 + 2  = 4x - 2x , 6 = 4x - 2x, 6 = 2x, 6/2 = 2x/2, 6 = x.
First you add 2 with 4, subtract 2x from 4x then divide the whole equation with 2.

Answer:

The option

Add  [tex]2[/tex], subtract  [tex]2x[/tex], then divide by  [tex]2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

[tex]2x+4=4x-2[/tex]

Step 1

Adds [tex]2[/tex] both sides

[tex]2x+4+2=4x-2+2[/tex]

[tex]2x+6=4x[/tex]

Step 2

Subtract  [tex]2x[/tex] both sides

[tex]2x+6-2x=4x-2x[/tex]

[tex]6=2x[/tex]

Step 3

Divide by [tex]2[/tex] both sides

[tex]6/2=2x/2[/tex]

[tex]x=3[/tex]
