Answer:

Explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

2x−4(x+2)=−2x−8

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2x−4(x+2)=−2x−8

2x+(−4)(x)+(−4)(2)=−2x+−8(Distribute)

2x+−4x+−8=−2x+−8

(2x+−4x)+(−8)=−2x−8(Combine Like Terms)

−2x+−8=−2x−8

−2x−8=−2x−8

Step 2: Add 2x to both sides.

−2x−8+2x=−2x−8+2x

−8=−8

Step 3: Add 8 to both sides.

−8+8=−8+8
