Answer 15

Simplifying
4(2x + -5) = 4

Reorder the terms:
4(-5 + 2x) = 4
(-5 * 4 + 2x * 4) = 4
(-20 + 8x) = 4

Solving
-20 + 8x = 4

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '20' to each side of the equation.
-20 + 20 + 8x = 4 + 20

Combine like terms: -20 + 20 = 0
0 + 8x = 4 + 20
8x = 4 + 20

Combine like terms: 4 + 20 = 24
8x = 24

Divide each side by '8'.
x = 3

Simplifying
x = 3
