Hey there!

In order to simplify this expression, all we have to do is multiply 4 times x and -2:

4x-8

Notes:

$\circ$ We can't simplify this expression anymore, because 4x and -8 are not like terms.

$\circ$ A negative times a positive is a negative.

Hope everything is clear.

Let me know if you have any questions!
