-2(1 - 5x) = 4 - 4(-2x)

First, we eliminate the parentheses and solve the multiplications

-2*1 - 2*(-5x) = 4 + 8x

-2 + 10x = 4 + 8x

Now, we subtract 8x from both sides and add 2 to both sides

-2 + 10x - 8x + 2 = 4 + 8x - 8x + 2

2x = 6

Then, we divide both sides by 2

2x/2 = 6/2

x = 6/2

x = 3
