4x - 2 = 3x + 8
Subtract 3x from each side of the equation:
4x - 2 - 3x = 3x + 8 - 3x
x-2 = 8
Add 2 to each side of the equation:
x - 2 + 2 = 8 + 2
x = 10
So, your answer is x = 10

4x-2=3x+8
Add two to both sides
4x=3x+8+2
Subtract three x from both sides
4x-3x=8+2
Simplify
1x=10
x=10

1. Subtract 3x from both sides
....x - 2 = 8
2. Add 2 to both sides
....x = 10

set the equation equal to zero like this.
4x-2=0
then add the 2 to the zero.
4x=2
then divide the 4x by 4 to get rid of the 4
x=4/2 which equals 4 divided by 2 and 4 divided by 2 equals 2
