Answer

Finally, we can solve for x by dividing both sides by 2 to get \(x = 3\).

Steps

Step 1 :First, we can simplify the equation by subtracting \(3x\) from both sides to get \(2x - 2 = 4\).

Step 2 :Next, by adding 2 to both sides, we get \(2x = 6\).

Step 3 :Finally, we can solve for x by dividing both sides by 2 to get \(x = 3\).
