Answer:

x=5 over 2 (it's a fraction)

Explanation:

STEP 1 distribute : 4-1 (2x+4)=5

4-2x-4=5

STEP 2 subtract: 4-2x-4=5

-2x=5

STEP 3 divide both sides of the equation by the same term:

-2x=5

-2x 5

----- ------

-2 -2

STEP 4 simplify:

cancel the terms that are both the numerator and denominator

divide the numbers

x= - 5 over 2 (fraction)

I hope this helps
