$\"4%282x-1%29=x%2B24\"$ Start with the given equation.

$\"8x-4=x%2B24\"$ Distribute.

$\"8x=x%2B24%2B4\"$ Add $\"4\"$ to both sides.

$\"8x-x=24%2B4\"$ Subtract $\"x\"$ from both sides.

$\"7x=24%2B4\"$ Combine like terms on the left side.

$\"7x=28\"$ Combine like terms on the right side.

$\"x=%2828%29%2F%287%29\"$ Divide both sides by $\"7\"$ to isolate $\"x\"$ .

$\"x=4\"$ Reduce.
