Well, in this case, we can't solve the parentheses

because we don't know what X is.

So instead, we're gonna start with distributing.

Let's distribute the exponents first.

We're gonna make it 4X plus 12 plus nine

minus five equals 32.

Let's continue with PEMDAS.

We're gonna add the 12 and the nine, okay?

4X plus 21 minus five equals 32.

Let's continue with the PEMDAS.

We're gonna do 4X plus 21 minus five,

which is gonna be 4X plus 16 equals 32.

Okay, now let's get rid of this 16

from both sides, okay?

That's gonna leave us with 4X equals 16.

Now we're simplifying.

We're gonna divide this four on both sides,

and then that's gonna give us our value of X, which is four.
