<span><span><span /></span></span>Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
<span><span><span>4x</span>+6</span>=<span>2<span>(<span><span>3x</span>−4</span>)
</span></span></span>
<span><span><span /></span></span><span><span><span>4x</span>+6</span>=<span><span><span>(2)</span><span>(<span>3x</span>)</span></span>+<span><span>(2)</span><span>(<span>−4</span>)</span></span></span></span>(Distribute)

</span></span>
<span><span /></span><span><span><span>4x</span>+6</span>=<span><span>6x</span>−8

<span><span /></span>Step 2: Subtract 6x from both sides.
<span><span><span><span>4x</span>+6</span>−<span>6x</span></span>=<span><span><span>6x</span>−8</span>−<span>6x

</span></span>
<span><span /></span><span><span>−<span>2x</span></span>=<span>−14
