Simplifying

2x + 6 = 3x + 4

Reorder the terms:

6 + 2x = 3x + 4

Reorder the terms:

6 + 2x = 4 + 3x

Solving

6 + 2x = 4 + 3x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-3x' to each side of the equation.

6 + 2x + -3x = 4 + 3x + -3x

Combine like terms: 2x + -3x = -1x

6 + -1x = 4 + 3x + -3x

Combine like terms: 3x + -3x = 0

6 + -1x = 4 + 0

6 + -1x = 4

Add '-6' to each side of the equation.

6 + -6 + -1x = 4 + -6

Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0

0 + -1x = 4 + -6

-1x = 4 + -6

Combine like terms: 4 + -6 = -2

-1x = -2

Divide each side by '-1'.

x = 2

Simplifying

x = 2
