Answer 2

`\boxed{x=1}`

Explanation:

`2(10-2x) = 4(3x + 1)`

`\sf Expand \ brackets.`

`20 - 4x = 12x + 4`

`\sf Subtract \ 12x \ and \ 20 \ from \ both \ sides.`

`20 - 4x - 12x - 20 = 12x + 4 - 12x - 20`

`-16x = -16`

`\sf Divide \ both \ sides \ by \ -16.`

`\displaystyle (-16x)/(-16) =(-16)/(-16)`

`x=1`
