Answer:

[tex]x=1[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with:

[tex]5x+2=3x+4(2x-1)[/tex]

Distribute the [tex]4[/tex] into [tex](2x-1)[/tex]:

[tex]5x+2=3x+8x-4[/tex]

Combine like terms:

[tex]5x+2=11x-4[/tex]

Add [tex]4[/tex] to both sides of the equation:

[tex]5x+6=11x[/tex]

Subtract [tex]5x[/tex] from both sides of the equation:

[tex]6=6x[/tex]

Divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of [tex]x[/tex], which is [tex]6[/tex]:

[tex]1=x[/tex]

or

[tex]x=1[/tex]

ANSWER: x = 1

1. Distribute the 4 into (2x-1). 5x + 2 = 3x + 8x - 4.
2. Add the like terms. 5x + 2 = 11x - 4.
3. Subtract 5x on both sides. 2 = 6x - 4.
4. Add 4 on both sides. 6 = 6x
5. Divide 6 on both sides. x = 1
