8x + 4(x-1)

Let's start of by applying the distributive property

8x + 4x - 4

Next, let's add the variables.

12x - 4

The answer would be option B.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

b

Explanation:

8x +4(x -1)

Expand by multiplying 4 into each term inside the bracket:

= 8x +4(x) +4(-1)

= 8x +4x -4

Simplify

= 12x -4

Thus, the answer is b.
