Get the variables on one side and the constants (which means numbers) on the other side:
-9x + 6 = -x + 4
You move the -x to the other side and it becomes +x
-9x + x = -6 + 4
-9x + x = -2
-8x = -2
x = 2/8

-9x + 6 = -x + 4
-8x + 6 = 4
-8x = -2
-x = -2/-8
-x = -1/-4
x = 1/4
Check:
-9(1/4) +6 = -(1/4) + 4
-9/4 +6 = 3 + 3/4
-9/4 + 24/4 = 12/4 + 3/4
15/4 = 15/4

Get all the x on one side and the numbers on the other
Add x to both sides. You get -9x + x +6 = -x + x +4
That becomes -8x +6 = 4.
Subtract 6 from both sides. You get -8x +6 - 6 = 4 -6
That becomes -8x = -2
Divide both sides by -8. You get x = 2/8
Show that as 1/4 or .25 for the value of x

-9x + 6 = -x + 4 (Add x to both sides and subtract 6 from both sides)
-8x = -2 (Divide both sides by -8)
x = 1/4
Check:
-9(1/4) + 6 = -(1/4) + 4
-9/4 + 6 = -1/4 + 4
15/4 = 15/4

- 9x + 6 = - x + 4
- 9x + 6 + 9x = - x + 4 + 9x
6 = 8x + 4
6 -4 =8x + 4 - 4
2 = 8x
2/8 = 8x/8
2/8 = x
1/4 = x
The answer is x = 1/4
The solution set if { 1/4 }

-9x + 6 = -x + 4
+x +x
-8x + 6 = 4
-6 -6
-8x = -2
divide both sides by -8
x= 2/8 which you would then simplify to
x = 1/4
