Emely Franco · Answer 1

4 (5x - 2) = 2 (9x + 3)

20x-8=18x+6

20x-18x=6+8

2x=14 / /:2

x=7

Makhi · Answer 2

x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

First you distribute the numbers outside the parenthesis and then you get 20x - 8 = 18x + 6 and then subtract the lowest value of x to both sides to get 2x - 8 = 6 and then add 8 to both sides to get 14 and then divide 2x to that and that gives you 7.
