Answer:

There is one solution: 2

Explanation:

We need to distribute the 2 to (5x-8) which gets us the equation:

4 + 10x - 16 = 2x + 4

Add like terms on the left side

10x - 12 = 2x +4

Get the variable "x" to one side and isolate it

8x = 16

Divide both sides by 8

x = 2

2 is the only solution to this problem
