8 - 4(-x + 5)

As you already know, in order to find the equivalent expression to our already given one, we have to simplify it first :)

8 +4x - 20

**Remember that a negative times a negative is always a positive!!**

Add like terms.

4x + (8 - 20)

Simplify.

4x + (-12)

Get rid of parenthesis.

4x - 12

Look at our answer choices.

Our answer is a. 4x - 12

~Hope I helped!~
