Answer:

B. Lynden

Explanation:

4(2x+2) - 2(x + 2) = 10 - 3(x +2)

To use the distributive property, you multiply the terms inside the parentheses by the number outside them.

8x + 8 - 2x - 4 = 10 - 3x - 6

A is wrong. Gregory used the addition property incorrectly. He should have gotten

4(2x + 2) + (x + 2) = 10

C is wrong. Whitney used the distributive property incorrectly. She made a mistake when distributing the -2 in -2(x + 2). She should have gotten

8x + 8 - 2x - 4 = 10 - 3x - 6

D is wrong. David combined like terms incorrectly. 10 and 3x are not like terms. He should have gotten

4(2x + 2) - 2(x + 2) = 4 - 3x
