Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(30−8)x
Subtract the numbers
22x
22x−20+4
Add the numbers
22x−16
22x−16=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
22x=0+16
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
22x=16
Divide both sides
2222x=2216
Divide the numbers
x=2216
