How to solve a multiplication problem with a variable?

Example Question: 6x + 4 = 22

The goal in this is to get the variable alone and these are the steps how to. What you have to do is subtract 4 from 4 so that you can get 6x alone. But when you subtract 4 from one side, you have to subtract 4 from the other side too which leaves us with 6x = 18. Now, we have to do the opposite of multiplication which is division. So we are going to do 6x divided by 6 and the two sixes cancel each other out. But remember, if you do something to one side you have to do it to the other as well. So we have to do 18/6 which leaves us with the answer.

x = 3

d? maybe
