Given:
The given expression is
[tex]-4(x+2)-2x+4[/tex]
To find:
The two other equivalent expressions.
Solution:
We have,
[tex]-4(x+2)-2x+4[/tex]
Using distributive property, we get
[tex]=-4(x)-4(2)-2x+4[/tex]
[tex]=-4x-8-2x+4[/tex]
So, one equivalent expression is [tex]-4x-8-2x+4[/tex].
On further simplification, we get
[tex]=(-4x-2x)+(-8+4)[/tex]
[tex]=6x-4[/tex]
Therefore, the second and fully simplified equivalent expression is [tex]6x-4[/tex].
