4%2A%282x%2B5%29=52This is the original problem.
8x%2B20=52 I multiplied 4 into the 2x and then into the 5 to get 8x & 20.
8x=52-20 Then i moved the twenty over with the 52; making it -20
8x=32 This is simple subtraction 52-20= 32
x=32%2F8 Then the 8 & x are multiplied so i had to divide 32 by 8 to move it
x=4 Thus the answer is 4
