    x = - 3

    Step-by-step explanation:

    What you do is get x by itself.

    1/4 (8x - 4) = 5x + 8 Distribute 1/4 to 8x and - 4.

    2x - 1 = 5x + 8 Subtract 5x on both sides.

    -3x - 1 = 8 Add - 1 to both sides.

    -3x = 9 Divide - 3 on both sides.

    x = - 3

    Answer: - 3

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Expand the brackets

    It will give: 2x - 1 = 5x + 8

    Collect like terms: 2x - 5x = 1 + 8

    - 3x = 9

    Divide both sides by - 3

    x = - 3
