-4-\left(-x\right)=\left(2-5x\right)\times 6
To find the opposite of 4-x, find the opposite of each term.
-4+x=\left(2-5x\right)\times 6
The opposite of -x is x.
-4+x=12-30x
Use the distributive property to multiply 2-5x by 6.
-4+x+30x=12
Add 30x to both sides.
-4+31x=12
Combine x and 30x to get 31x.
31x=12+4
Add 4 to both sides.
31x=16
Add 12 and 4 to get 16.
x=\frac{16}{31}
Divide both sides by 31.
