Answer:

x = - 1

Explanation:

Given

4(x + 2) = 2(3x + 5) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides

4x + 8 = 6x + 10 ( subtract 6x from both sides )

- 2x + 8 = 10 ( subtract 8 from both sides )

- 2x = 2 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

x = - 1

Your answer would be x = -1.

We can find this by first expanding the brackets on both sides of the equation:

4x + 8 = 6x + 10

Now we can rearrange and solve for x:

4x + 8 = 6x + 10

- 4x

8 = 2x + 10

- 10

-2 = 2x

÷ 2

-1 = x

I hope this helps!
