Let's solve the problem given to us today! The problem is the following:


\mapsto\quad\bf{4x+8=2x+40}

We need to solve for x.

So first, I subtract 2x from both sides:


\mapsto\quad\bf{4x-2x+8=40}


\mapsto\quad\bf{2x+8=40}

Subtract 8 from both sides:


\mapsto\quad\bf{2x=40-8}


\mapsto\quad\bf{2x=32}

Divide both sides by 2:


\mapsto\quad\bf{x=16}

Therefore, x = 16.
