Answer:

x = 12

Explanation:


(2x - 4)/(5) =4

First of all multiply through by 5 to eliminate the fraction

That's


5 * (2x - 4)/(5) = 4 * 5 \\ 2x - 4 = 20

Next using the addition property add 4 to both sides of the equation

We have


2x - 4 + 4 = 20 + 4 \\ 2x = 24

Divide both sides by 2


(2x)/(2) = (24)/(2)

We have the final answer as

x = 12

Hope this helps you
