4x%2B5=2x%2B33 Start with the given equation.


4x=2x%2B33-5 Subtract 5 from both sides.


4x-2x=33-5 Subtract 2x from both sides.


2x=33-5 Combine like terms on the left side.


2x=28 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%2828%29%2F%282%29 Divide both sides by 2 to isolate x.


x=14 Reduce.

Answer:

So the solution is x=14
