Answer:

-2(2x-4) = -4x+8 or 2(2x-4) ≠ 4x ; -4x+8 ≠ 4x

Explanation:

Did you accidentally write =4x after your expression? If so, then let me explain why my answer is correct. I used distributive property of multiplication, so I multiplied -2 with 2x to get -4x, and -2 multiplied with -4 to get 8. So my final answer was -4x+8. If you did not accidentally put -4x, then my answer would be, 2(2x-4) ≠ 4x or -4x+8 ≠ 4x. Hope this helped.
