You have the following equation:

4x - 3 = 2x + 5

In order to solve the previous equation, proceed as follow:

4x - 3 = 2x + 5 subtract 2x both sides

4x - 2x - 3 = 5 add 3 both sides

4x - 2x = 5 + 3 simplify like terms

2x = 8 divide by 2 both sides

x = 8/2

x = 4

Hence, the solution to the given equation is x = 4
