Answer:

x=5

Explanation:

four times two x gives you 8x. 4 times 4 is 16. Subtract 16 from both sides you get 40. divide 8x by 8 and the eights cancel out. Divide 40 by 8 and you get 5

Hey!

------------------------------------------------

Steps To Solve:

4(2x + 4) = 56

~Distributive Property

8x + 16 = 56

~Subtract 16 to both sides

8x + 16 - 16 = 56 - 16

~Simplify

8x = 40

~Divide 8 to both sides

8x/8 = 40/8

~Simplify

x = 5

------------------------------------------------

Hence, the answer is
\Large\boxed{\mathsf{x~=~5}}

------------------------------------------------

Hope This Helped! Good Luck!
