What is the solution to the equation 4x + 2(x − 2) = 4x + x − 12? −8 −1 1 8 my last question for now everyone for the i think the answer is -8 if anyone could check for me that would

Equation: 4x + 2(x - 2) = 4x + x - 12

Solve:
4x + 2(x - 2) = 4x + x - 12

4x + (2)(x) + (2)(- 2) = 4x + x +  - 12  (Distribute)

4x + 2x +  - 4 = 4x + x +  - 12

(4x + 2x) + (- 4) = (4x + x) + (- 12)    

Combine Like Terms:
6x +  - 4 = 5x +  - 12

6x - 4 = 5x - 12

Subtract 5x from both sides:
6x - 4 - 5x = 5x - 12 - 5x

x - 4 =   - 12

Add 4 to both sides:
x - 4 + 4 =   - 12 + 4

x =   - 8

  x =   - 8

Hope that helps ( x =  - 8, Letter Choice (A).
