#x = (7) / (2)#

We have: #2 x + 3 = 4 (x - 1)#

Let's expand the parentheses:

#=> 2 x + 3 = 4 x - 4#

Now, let's collect the like terms on separate sides of the equation:

#=> 4 x - 2 x = 3 + 4#

#=> 2 x = 7#

Finally, to solve for #x#, let's divide both sides by #2#:

#=> x = (7) / (2)#

Therefore, the solution to the equation is #x = (7) / (2)#.
