Looks like this, right?
What they want you to do is calculate the values of the expression at the top of the second and third columns of the table for x=1 and for x=5 and fill the values in the table.
For x=1,
4%2B2%284x-5%29%2B6=4%2B2%284%2A1-5%29%2B6=4%2B2%284-5%29%2B6=4%2B2%2A%28-1%29%2B6=4-2%2B6=8
8x=8%2A1=8
For x=5,
4%2B2%284x-5%29%2B6=4%2B2%284%2A5-5%29%2B6=4%2B2%2820-5%29%2B6=4%2B2%2A15%2B6=4%2B30%2B6=40
8x=8%2A5=40
So, at least for those two values of x, the expressions have the same value.
Your completed table would look like this
