Answer:


x = (13)/(4)

Explanation:


4(x + 5) = 6(2x - 1)

Expand the terms in the bracket

That's


4x + 20 = 12x - 6

Subtract 12x from both sides of the equation


4x - 12x + 20 = 12x - 12x - 6 \\ - 8x + 20 = - 6

Subtract 20 from both sides


- 8x + 20 - 20 = - 6 - 20 \\ - 8x = - 26

Divide both sides by - 8


( - 8x)/( - 8) = ( - 26)/( - 8) \\ x = (26)/(8)

We have the final answer as


x = (13)/(4)

Hope this helps you
