You have the following equation:
4x - 3 = 2x + 5
In order to solve the previous equation, proceed as follow:
4x - 3 = 2x + 5 subtract 2x both sides
4x - 2x - 3 = 5 add 3 both sides
4x - 2x = 5 + 3 simplify like terms
2x = 8 divide by 2 both sides
x = 8/2
x = 4
Hence, the solution to the given equation is x = 4
