Place both 'x's in one side and all the constants on another side...

Explanation:

You can subtract 4x on both sides of the equation:
$6 x * - 4 x * - 8 = 4 x * - 4 x *$ $6x **-4x** −8=4x **-4x**$

You end up with:
$2 x - 8 = 0$ $2x−8=0$

Now place all constants on the other side, which is 8 in this case. By adding 8 on both sides:
$2 x * - 8 * + 8 = 0 * + 8 *$ $2x **-8** +8=0 **+8**$
$2 x = 8$ $2x=8$

Finally, divide both sides by 2 to remove the number 2 being multiplied on the x:
$x = 4$ $x=4$

Similarly, you could see that 2 of x equals 8, so 1 of x should equal half of that, which is 4.
