All real numbers.

$\boxed{TRUE}$

Explanation:

Distributive property: a(b+c)=ab+ac

Expand: 4(a+2)=4a+8

Expand again: 14-2(3-2a)=4a+8

4a+8=4a+8

You subtract by 8 from both sides of an equation.

4a+8-8=4a+8-8

Simplify.

4a=4a

Then, subtract by 4a from both sides of an equation.

4a-4a=4a-4a

Finally, simplify.

4a-4a=0

0=0

True

All real numbers is the final answer.

Hope this helps you!

Have a nice day! :)
