The solution

You have entered [src]
-2*x = 4 - 5*(x - 4)
$$- 2 x = 4 - 5 \left(x - 4\right)$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-2*x = 4-5*(x-4)

Expand brackets in the right part
-2*x = 4-5*x+5*4

Looking for similar summands in the right part:
-2*x = 24 - 5*x

Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$3 x = 24$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 3
x = 24 / (3)

We get the answer: x = 8
