0

Solution:

Concept:

A linear equation in one variable is solved by bringing variable terms to one side and constants to the other.

Explanation:

Start with the given equation:

-2x + 6 = 4x - 2

Subtract

4x

from both sides and subtract

6

from both sides:

-2x - 4x = -2 - 6

Combine like terms:

-6x = -8

Divide both sides by

-6

:

x = \frac{-8}{-6} = \frac{4}{3}

Answer:

C.

\frac{4}{3}
