Answer:

Elena’s work is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first step they were using distributive property. 4 times x would be 4x, 4 times -2 would be -8 so the first step is correct. The second step we added 8 on both sides which left us with a result of 4x=24. The final step both sides are divided by 4 which means x=6.

Hope this helps!!
