Answer:

x =  [tex] -\frac{6}{5}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

2x – 4 – (x + 2) = 6x is the given equation

Now simplifying both sides, we get

2x - 4 - x - 2 = 6x

taking like terms on each side of the equality, we get

2x - x - 6x = 4 + 2

or, -5x = 6

or x = [tex]\frac{6}{-5} [/tex]

hence, the value of x =  [tex] -\frac{6}{5}[/tex]
