Answer:
X = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex] \sf \: First, solve \: the \: brackets. [/tex]
[tex] \sf \: 10 - 2(2x + 1) = 4(x - 2) \\ \sf10 - 4x - 2 = 4x - 8 \: \: \: \: \: \: \: [/tex]
[tex] \sf \: Combine \: like \: terms .[/tex]
[tex] \sf8 - 4x = 4x - 8[/tex]
[tex] \sf \: Subtract \: 4x \: from \: both \: sides \: to \: remove \: 4x.[/tex]
[tex] \sf \: 8 - 4x - 4x = 4x - 8 - 4x \\ \sf8 - 8x = - 8[/tex]
[tex] \sf \: Subtract \: 8 \: from \: both \: sides \: to \: remove \: 8.[/tex]
[tex] \sf8 - 8 - 8x = - 8 - 8 \\ \sf - 8x = - 16[/tex]
[tex] \sf \: Divide \: both \: sides \: by \: -8.[/tex]
[tex] \sf \: x = 2[/tex]
