No Solution

Breaking it down...

#4(2x+4) = 4*2x+4*4 = 8x+16#.

#4(4x+5) = 4*4x+4*5 = 16x+20#

#8x+16+16x+20+5=24x+42#

Combining Like Terms, #24x+41=24x+42#

Subtracting #41# from both sides,

#24x=24x+1#

Subtracting #24x# from Both Sides,

#0=0+1#, or #0=1#.

This is NOT Valid, so there is no Solution.

Awesome!
