Answer:<em><u> 2x - 4(x + 1) = 3x= -4/5</u></em>
<em><u /></em>
2x−4(x+1)=3x
2x+(−4)(x)+(−4)(1)=3x(Distribute)
2x+−4x+−4=3x
(2x+−4x)+(−4)=3x(Combine Like Terms)
−2x+−4=3x
−2x−4=3x
Step 2: Subtract 3x from both sides.
−2x−4−3x=3x−3x
−5x−4=0
Step 3: Add 4 to both sides.
−5x−4+4=0+4
−5x=4
Step 4: Divide both sides by -5.
