    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
