Explanation:

`- 2(-x+4) + 4x- 3= 31\\\\\mathrm{Add\:}3\mathrm{\:to\:both\:sides}\\\\-2\left(-x+4\right)+4x-3+3=31+3\\\\Simplify\\\\-2\left(-x+4\right)+4x=34\\\\Expand\:\: -2\left(-x+4\right)+4x :6x-8=\\\\6x-8=34\\\\\mathrm{Add\:}8\mathrm{\:to\:both\:sides}\\\\6x-8+8=34+8\\\\Simplify\\\\6x=42\\\\\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}6\\\\(6x)/(6)=(42)/(6)\\\\Simplify\\\\x =7`
