\[2x+4=-(-7x+6)\]

1
Remove parentheses.
2x+4=7x62x+4=7x-6

2
Subtract 2x2x from both sides.
4=7x62x4=7x-6-2x

3
Simplify  7x62x7x-6-2x  to  5x65x-6.
4=5x64=5x-6

4
Add 66 to both sides.
4+6=5x4+6=5x

5
Simplify  4+64+6  to  1010.
10=5x10=5x

6
Divide both sides by 55.
105=x\frac{10}{5}=x

7
Simplify  105\frac{10}{5}  to  22.
2=x2=x

8
Switch sides.
x=2x=2

Done
