Gwyneth begins solving for x in the equation 2(x-4) - 5(4-2x) + 4x. After applying the distributive property and combining like terms, which equation will Gwyneth have to solve in order to determine the value of x?
2x-8-20-14X
2x-8-20-6x
2x-4 – 20+ 2x
O 2x-4-20-6x

2x-8 = 20-6x

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property tells us to multiply the term outside parentheses by everything inside:

2(x-4) = 5(4-2x)+4x

2(x)+2(-4) = 5(4)+5(-2x)+4x

2x-8 = 20-10x+4x

Combining like terms on the right gives us

2x-8 = 20-6x

the answer is 489
