Steps:

(x-2)=4x

Pretend that there is a one in front of x-2

1(x-2)=4x

Multiply the bracket by 1

x-2=4x

Move x to the other side .Whenever you move a number or letter the sign changes.

x-x-2=4x-x

-2=3x

Divide by 3 for -2 and 3

-2/3=3/3 x

x=-2/3

Check answer by using substitution method

(-2/3-2)=4(-2/3)

(-2/3-6/3)=-8/3

-8/3=-8/3

Answer is -2/3
