2. occurs when an adverb or other word is placed between to and the verb poor parallel structure

explanation:

x + 2(2x - 4) = 12     use distributive property

x + 4x - 8 = 12     add 8 to both sides

5x = 20     divide both sides by 5

x = 4

y = 2(4) - 4

y = 8 - 4

y = 4

part a.   = c.)

part b. = a.)
