Given:-


  • \tt \: 5( 2 + x ) = 4 + 8x


\:

Solution:-


  • \tt \: 5( 2 + x ) = 4 + 8x


\:


  • \tt \: 10 + 5x = 4 + 8x


\:


  • \tt \: 5x - 8x = 4 - 10


\:


  • \tt \: -3x = -6


\:


  • \tt \: x = \cancel ( - 6)/( - 3)


\:


  • \boxed{ \tt{ \color{lightgreen} \: x = 2\: }}

Answer:

x = 2

Explanation:

To solve for x in the equation


5(2 + x) = 4 + 8x

we can use the distributive property, which states that:


A(B+C) = AB + AC

Applying this to the left side of the equation:


(5 * 2) + 5x = 4 + 8x

We can then simplify and isolate x on one side.


10 + 5x = 4 + 8x

- 5x - 5x


10 = 4 + 3x

-4 -4


6 = 3x

Finally, we can divide both sides by 3 to get:


2 = x


\boxed{x=2}
