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.
