Answer:

Your answer is 24/5 or 4.8

Explanation:

Start with the given:

2x - 4/5 = x + 4

Use the Addition Property of Equality (add 4/5 to both sides)

2x = x + 4 + 4/5

Subtraction Property of Equality (subtract x from both sides)

2x - x = 4 + 4/5

Combine Like Terms on both sides

x = 24/5

(IF you need a decimal) Divide

x = 4.8

Hope this helps.
