Expert Solution
Step 1

According to the question, we have to solve the algebraic expression 2x+4=4x and find the value of x.

As the above expression is algebraic expression and it is defined as the expression which is made up of variables and constants, along with algebraic operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

To solve the algebraic expression, we have to arrange the variable term in one side and constant term in one side and then solve accordingly.

 

Step 2

Rewrite the given expression,

2x+4=4x

Now, to solve further stepwise solution given as below,

Step 1- Transfer 4x from right hand side to left hand side and 4 from left hand side to right hand side,

2x-4x=-4

Step 2- Now subtract the expression 2x-4x and write as -2x in the above expression,

-2x=-4

Step 3- As in the both sides, there are minus sign ,so , to remove the sign just multiply with negative sign and we know that -·-=+,

2x=4

Step 4- to eliminate the coefficient from the variables term, divide by 2 in both sides, we get

2x2=42
