To find the value of "x" in the equation 2x-4 = 6x-8, we need to isolate "x" on one side of the equation.

First, let's simplify the equation by combining like terms:

2x - 4 = 6x - 8

Next, let's get rid of the variable term on one side by subtracting 2x from both sides:

-4 = 4x - 8

We can now isolate the variable term by adding 8 to both sides:

4 = 4x

Finally, divide both sides by 4 to solve for "x":

x = 1

Therefore, the value of "x" in the equation 2x-4 = 6x-8 is 1.

To find the value of "x" in the equation 2x - 4 = 6x - 8, we can start by simplifying the equation:

2x - 4 = 6x - 8

Next, let's isolate the variable "x" on one side. We can do this by subtracting 2x from both sides:

-4 = 4x - 8

To isolate the variable term, we can add 8 to both sides:

4 = 4x

Finally, let's divide both sides by 4:

1 = x

Therefore, the value of "x" in the equation 2x - 4 = 6x - 8 is 1.
None of the provided options (A 10, B 28, C 20, D 14) is equal to 1.

If the number is half of one of the provided options, we can divide each option by 2 to find the number:

A. 10 / 2 = 5
B. 28 / 2 = 14
C. 20 / 2 = 10
D. 14 / 2 = 7

Therefore, the number satisfying the condition in the equation 2x - 4 = 6x - 8 is half of option D, which is 7.
