Explanation:
1- 6(x+8)=5x+4. First calculate the brackets.
2- 6x+48=5x+4 (multiply the number in front of the brackets with the numbers in the brackets) so 6×X= 6x and 6×8= 48
3- 6x-5x= -48+4 put the numbers with x on the left hand side and the others on the right hand side. (when moving from side to the other side you convert + into - or reversed)
4- x= -44 now work out the sums and then you get x
