Answer is 6/11

Step-by-step explanation :-


2( - 3x + 4) = 5x + 2

Now open left side brackets and multiply 2 with each on left,


➵ - 6x + 8 = 5x + 2

Now, bring the common values together for easier calculation.


➵8 - 2 = 5x + 6x


➵6 = 11x


➵ (6)/(11) = x

As we cant divide 6/11 , we write it as it is.

Therefore, value of x is 6/11
