Answer: x = -54

Explanation:

Simplifying

(2x) = (4x + 108)

Reorder the terms:

(2x) = (108 + 4x)

Remove parenthesis around (108 + 4x)

(2x) = 108 + 4x

Solving

(2x) = 108 + 4x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-4x' to each side of the equation.

(2x) + -4x = 108 + 4x + -4x

Combine like terms: (2x) + -4x = -2x

-2x = 108 + 4x + -4x

Combine like terms: 4x + -4x = 0

-2x = 108 + 0

-2x = 108

Divide each side by '-2'.

x = -54
