4x-2x+2=8-\left(x+2\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by x-1.
2x+2=8-\left(x+2\right)
Combine 4x and -2x to get 2x.
2x+2=8-x-2
To find the opposite of x+2, find the opposite of each term.
2x+2=6-x
Subtract 2 from 8 to get 6.
2x+2+x=6
Add x to both sides.
3x+2=6
Combine 2x and x to get 3x.
3x=6-2
Subtract 2 from both sides.
3x=4
Subtract 2 from 6 to get 4.
x=\frac{4}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
