Answer:
[tex]x = \frac{1}{2} [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to solve for x in the equation in
[tex]x + 4 = 5x + 2[/tex]
Let us group like terms to obtain:
[tex]4 - 2 = 5x - x[/tex]
We now combine the terms to get:
[tex]2 = 4x[/tex]
Divide both sides by 4
[tex]x = \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2} [/tex]
