To solve this expression, we have to group all the x's in one side of the equation and all the other terms that do not depend on x on the other side:


\begin{gathered} 4x-3=2x+5 \\ 4x-3-2x=2x+5-2x \\ (4-2)x-3=0x+5 \\ 2x-3=5 \\ 2x-3+3=5+3 \\ 2x+0=8 \\ (2x)/(2)=(8)/(2) \\ x=4 \end{gathered}

NOTE: it can be solved in less steps. This is detailed way to solve it.

The value of x is x=4.
