Evaluate
2x−3x
Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(2−3)x
Subtract the numbers
−x
−x+4−6
Subtract the numbers
−x−2
−x−2=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−x=0+2
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−x=2
