Answer:
C is correct
Explanation:
I'm not sure what the substituting part has to do anything, but here is how I got the answer
4(x+x+7)-2x+8-4
4(2x+7)-2x+4
8x+28-2x+4
6x+32
Factor and you get
2(3x+16), which is answer choice C
You can check that the answer is right by plugging in x=1 and x=2 into the original equation and the answer choice, which may be what that is asking.
