Answer:

D

Explanation:

Our answer will be D. We can eliminate choices A and C since they are not products. In other words, they are not multiplying factors together; they are only adding or subtracting.

Answer B does not work, as when it is multiplied out, we get -2x + 16.

When we find the product of D, we distribute the negative and get the correct product, -2x - 16
