3a=4x+2x
Add 2x to both sides.
3a=6x
Combine 4x and 2x to get 6x.
\frac{3a}{3}=\frac{6x}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
a=\frac{6x}{3}
Dividing by 3 undoes the multiplication by 3.
a=2x
Divide 6x by 3.
-2x+3a-4x=0
Subtract 4x from both sides.
-6x+3a=0
Combine -2x and -4x to get -6x.
-6x=-3a
Subtract 3a from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
\frac{-6x}{-6}=-\frac{3a}{-6}
Divide both sides by -6.
x=-\frac{3a}{-6}
Dividing by -6 undoes the multiplication by -6.
x=\frac{a}{2}
Divide -3a by -6.
