The first thing you have to do is Distribute the 4 and the -2 can you do that and show me what you get? if you don't know how thats fine i can show you (:

Answer 3

Do you recall the distributive property:
$$a(b+c)=ab+ac$$

Answer 4

4(x - 6) = -2(x - 3)
Solve the brackets
4x-24=-2x+6
Bring all x values together all numericals together
4x+2x=6+24
6x=30
x=30/6
x=5
