Step 1
Given 2(2x + 1) - (x - 4) = 4(x + 5).
We need to check whether it is a expression or equation , if equation we need to solve the above equation.
Step 2
Since the expressions are connected by equal sign , it is an equation.
So let us solve the above equation.
2(2x+1)-(x-4)=4(x+5)
4x+2-x+4=4x+20
3x+6=4x+5
subtract 6 on both sides
3x=4x-1
subtract 4x on both sides
-x=-1
x=1
