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

Okay you start off by doing the order of operation.

OpenStudy (nfcfox):

Assuming we are solving for x, let's start by distributing the 3 and 5 on both sides.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (nfcfox):

OpenStudy (nfcfox):

Lets add 10 and add the x so we will get 4x=20. Now simply divided 4 to get x= 5,
