4x+8-2\left(x+3\right)=5
Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by x+2.
4x+8-2x-6=5
Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by x+3.
2x+8-6=5
Combine 4x and -2x to get 2x.
2x+2=5
Subtract 6 from 8 to get 2.
2x=5-2
Subtract 2 from both sides.
2x=3
Subtract 2 from 5 to get 3.
x=\frac{3}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
