$x = (7) / (2)$

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 $x = (7) / (2)$ .
