In order to solve for the variable in the equation 2 (4x+3) + 4=3x - (2x+4) Giovanni first applies the distributive property. Which equation is a result of this step?

8x+3+4=3x-2x+4

8x+6+4=3x-2x-4

6x+5+4=3x-x+3

6x+3+4=3x-x+4

The distributive property is multiplying the numbers outside of the parentheses into the inside

2*4x=8x

2*3=6

8x+6+4

Then do the same thing on the other side

Which gets you

3x-2x-4

so he has the equation

8x+6+4=3x-2x-4

so the answer is B
