Hello.

Remember, equivalent means equal.

Let's simplify the expression.

First, let's use the Distributive Property, which states


\hookrightarrow
\mathrm{a(b+c)=ab+ac}

Use it:


\hookrightarrow\mathrm{-4+8(7+x)}


\hookrightarrow
\mathrm{-4+56+8x}


\hookrightarrow\mathrm{52+8x}

Therefore, the answer is


\mathrm{52+8x}

I hope this helps you.

Have a nice day.
