    x = 1/2

    Step-by-step explanation:

    1/4 (40-8x) = 19x+2-5x

    (1/4) (40) + (1/4) (-8x) = 19x+2+-5x (Distribute)

    10+-2x=19x+2+-5x

    -2x+10 = (19x+-5x) + (2) (Combine Like Terms)

    -2x+10=14x+2

    -2x+10=14x+2

    Subtract 14x from both sides.

    -2x+10-14x=14x+2-14x

    -16x+10=2

    Subtract 10 from both sides.

    -16x+10-10=2-10

    -16x=-8

    Divide both sides by - 16.

    -16x/-16=-8/-16

    x=1/2

    Simplify 1/4 (40 - 8x) to 40 - 8x/4

    40 - 8x/4 = 19x + 2 - 5x

    Factor out the common term 8

    8 (5 - x) / 4 = 19x + 2 - 5x

    Simplify 8 (5 - x) / 9 to 2 (5 - x)

    2 (5 - x) = 19x + 2 - 5x

    Simplify 19x + 2 - 5x to 14x + 2

    2 (5 - x) = 14x + 2

    Expand

    10 - 2x = 14x + 2

    Add 2x to both sides

    10 = 14x + 2 + 2x

    Simpliy 14x + 2 + 2x to 16x + 2

    10 = 16x + 2

    Subtract 2 from both sides

    10 - 2 = 16x

    Simplify 10 - 2 to 8

    8 = 16x

    Divide both sides by 16

    8/16 = x

    Simplify 8/16 to 1/2

    1/2 = x

    Switch sides

    x = 1/2
