6x - 4
is simply an expression. There's nothing to do, here. If you wish to "solve" something, you have to have an equation, like
6x -4 = 0
In this case, you solve the equation by figuring out what to add, subtract, multiply, or divide to isolate the x.
6x -4 +4 = 0+4 ' add 4 to both sides.
\frac {6x}{6} = \frac 46 ' divide both sides by 6
x = \frac 46 = \frac 23
