    x=5

    Step-by-step explanation:

    4 (2x - 1) + 8 = 4x + 24.

    Factor out a 4 from each side

    4{ 2x-1 + 2} = 4 (x+6)

    Cancel the 4 on each side

    2x-1+2 = x+6

    Combine like terms

    2x+1 = x+6

    Subtract x from each side

    2x+1-x = x+6-x

    x+1 = 6

    Subtract 1 from each side

    x+1-1 = 6-1

    x = 5
