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.
