Answer:

b) 2(3x+4)

Explanation:

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

Solving steps:

a) 2(3x-4) = 2(3x) + 2(-4) = 6x - 8

b) 2(3x+4) = 2(3x) + 2(4) = 6x + 8

c) 2(4x+6) = 2(4x) + 2(6) = 8x + 12

d) 2(3x+8) = 2(3x) + 2(8) = 6x + 16

Among from all the options, option B is equivalent to 6x + 8.
