4x - 2x + 8 = 6(x + 4)   Given

(4x - 2x) + 8 = 6(x + 4)

2x + 8 = 6(x + 4)     Combine like terms

2x + 8 = (6)(x) + (6)(4)

2x + 8 = 6x + 24    Distributive Property

2x - 6x + 8 = 6x - 6x + 24

-4x + 8 = 24      Subtraction Property of Equality

-4x + 8 - 8 = 24 - 8

-4x = 16    Subtraction Property of Equality

-4x : (-4) = 16 : (-4)

x = -4       Division Property of Equality
