2 + 4(x - 3) + 2 = 4 + 5y : original
2 +2 +4 (x -3) =4 +5y : I just rewrite the whole thing :) looks easier 
4 +4x -12 =4 +5y : distribute property 4 times x and 4 times -3
4x-8 =4+5y : subtraction 
     +8  +8     : add 8 for both side
4x=12+5y  : you can leave this is your answers or you can
4x-5y =12 :) you can't do anything more cuz we have 2 different values :) so this is your final answer :)
