4(5x-2) = 2(9x + 3)

distribute

20x-8 = 18x + 6

add 8 to both sides

20x = 18x + 14

subtract 18 x

2x = 14

divide by 2

x = 7

verify if true

4(5*7 - 2) = 2(9*7+3)

132 = 132

x does = 7

hope this helps

Answer:


\sf \: x = 7

Explanation:

Given equation,

→ 4(5x - 2) = 2(9x + 3)

Now the value of x will be,

→ 4(5x - 2) = 2(9x + 3)

→ 20x - 8 = 18x + 6

→ 20x - 18x = 6 + 8

→ 2x = 14

→ x = 14/2

→ [ x = 7 ]

Hence, the value of x is 7.
