combine like terms
solve
6x - 4 + 2x = - x + 5
8x - 4 = -x + 5
8x + x = 5 + 4
9x = 9
x = 1

6x - 4 + 2X = -x + 5
6x + 2x + x = 4 + 5
9x = 9
x = 1
check:
6 - 4 + 2 = -1 + 5
2 + 2 = 4
4 = 4

6x-4+2x=-(x-5)
6x-4+2x = 5-x
6x+2x+x = 5+4
9x = 9
x = 9/9
x = 1

6x-4+2x=-(x-5)
combine like terms on the left & distribute the negative on the right
8x-4=-x+5
Add x to both sides & add +4 to both sides.
9x=9
Divide both sides by 9.
x=1

6x-4+2x= -(x-5)
6x+2x-4= -x+5
8x -4 = -x+5
+x +x
9x-4=5
9x=5+4
9x=9
x=9/9
x=1

X=1
combine like terms and distribute the negative sign:
8x-4=-x+5
add 4 to the one side and add x to the other, causing them to cancel out on the side they are currently on:
9x=9
Divide by 9 to get X by itself
therefore, x=1

x=1
work:
distribute -(x-5)-- 6x-4+2x=-x+5
combine like terms-- 8x-4=-x+5
move x to one side of equation-- 9x-4=5
move numbers to one side of equation-- 9x=9
divide-- x=1
