1st u get rid of the parentheses by multiplying the outside number by everything on the inside, so now the equation is:
4x - 28 = 2x - 6 + 4
4x - 28 = 2x - 2
you subtract by 2x on both sides so now the equation is:
2x - 28 = -2
add 28 on both sides and get:
2x = 26
divide by 2 on both sides and you get your answer of x = 13
hope that helped!

4(x-7) = -2(3-x)+4
4x - 28 = -6 + 2x + 4
4x - 28 = 2x -2
4x -28-2x = 2x-2-2x
2x - 28 = -2
2x -28 +28 = -2 + 28
2x = 26
2x/2 = 26/2
x = 13

4x-28=-6+2x+4
4x-28=-2+2x
2x-28=-2
2x=26
x=13
