How do you solve 2x + 4 = 4x - 2? Algebra Linear Equations Equations with Variables on Both Sides 1 Answer Udhaya S. Apr 21, 2018 Moving over variables Explanation: Move over the x variables to one side and constants to another. So its, 4x - 2x = 4 + 2 which simplifies to 2x = 6, divide 2 on both sides and you will get x = 3. Answer link Related questions How do you check solutions to equations with variables on both sides?
