I did consider this.

5x+22=2x1

 

5x+2=2(2x1)

 

5x+2=4x2

 

x=4

Nice work Zacismyname!!!

But is it possible that  there is a couple of brackets missing?

(5×x+2)2=4×x2       multiplie all terms with 2 in order to remove the denominator on the left side.

5×x+2=4×x2     get all x to the left side and all terms without x on the other side.

(5×x+2)4×x2=(4×x2)4×x2

 

Good luck
