Answer:

[tex]x=-5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]-4x + 6 = 2x + 36[/tex]

Add -2x and -6 on both sides.

[tex]-4x + 6-2x-6 = 2x + 36-2x-6[/tex]

[tex]-4x-2x=36-6[/tex]

Combine like terms.

[tex]-6x=30[/tex]

Divide both sides by -6.

[tex]\frac{-6x}{-6} =\frac{30}{-6}[/tex]

[tex]x=-5[/tex]

Answer:

x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Group like terms together:  On the right side we get 2x + 4x = 6x.  On the left side we get 6 - 36 = - 30.

Then 6x = -30, and x = -5.
