Explanation:

$\bf{2( x + 10) =4( 2x - 1)}$

We need the value of x. So, we will break the brackets first.

$\bf{2( x + 10) =4( 2x - 1)}$

$\bf{2x + 20 = 8x - 4}$ [ Distributive Property]

$\bf{2x -8x = -20 - 4}$ [ Brought x to one side and signs interchange]

$\bf{-6x = -24}$

$\bf{x = (24)/(6)}$

$\bf{x = 4}$

Hope it helps :)
