2(3x+16)

Step-by-step explanation:

Identify the expression equivalent to 4(x + x + 7) − 2x + 8 − 4

4(x + x + 7) − 2x + 8 − 4

When x=1 , the expression becomes 4(1+1+7)-2(1)+8-4=38

When x=2 , the expression becomes 4(2+2+7)-2(1)+8-4=44

Plug in x=1 and check with each expression

6x + 11 =6(1) +11= 16

3(x + 7) = 3(1+7)= 3(8)= 24

2(3x + 16) = 2(3(1)+16)= 38 , we got same answer when x=1, now check with x=2

2(3x + 16) = 2(3(2)+16)= 44

3x + 16= 3+16= 19
