Hey there!
In order to simplify this expression, all we have to do is multiply 4 times x and -2:
4x-8
Notes:
[tex]\circ[/tex] We can't simplify this expression anymore, because 4x and -8 are not like terms.
[tex]\circ[/tex] A negative times a positive is a negative.
Hope everything is clear.
Let me know if you have any questions!
