Answer:

x=0

Explanation:

factor out 4 from the expression

x - 4 = 1/4 * 4(2x - 4)

Reduce the numbers with the greatest common factor (4)

x - 4 = 2x - 4

cancel equal terms on both sides of the equation

x=2x

move the variable to the left-hand side and change its sign

x - 2x = 0

collect like terms

-x = 0

change the signs on both sides of the equation

x = 0

Hope this helps!!
