Then ask yourself is there any like terms we can combine, and here yes there is. 4 and 2 and x and -2x. Now lets combine them and rewrite.
6-x=5
Now lets get x alone and the quickest way is to subtract 6 to the other side
6-x=5
-6 -6
-x=-1
Now the two negatives cancel out as you would divide both sides by the coefficient -1 to get positive x alone. We can make this easier by just canceling out the negatives.
