Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to add 2x on both sides to get to this equation -3x - 2 = 4 with the -2 being negative due to having a positive and a negative sign turning into a negative number.  Add 2 on both sides to get -3x = 6.  Divide -3 on both sides to get your final answer or as your x value which is -2.
