It depends how you name the sides of triangle.
Look at picture at the result.

PS. Sorry for my terrible drawing but I did it as fast as possible :)
Answer:
x= 2
Step-by-step explanation:
5*2= 10 then add the x at the end
5*4=20
then you divide both sides by 10
(10x/10)- (20/10)
x= 2
or if your rewriting it then:
(5*2x)- (5*4)=?
Hope this helped :D
