4x + 8 = 10x - 2 (3x - 4)

The given equation is equivalent by using the distributive property

Therefore 4x+8=4x+8 are equivalent

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is 4x+8=10x-2 (3x-4)

To solve the given equation as below:

4x+8=10x-2 (3x-4)

Now applying the distributive property a (x+y) = ax+axy

4x+8=10x-2 (3x) - 2 (-4)

=10x-6x+8

=4x+8 (adding the like terms)

Therefore 4x+8=4x+8

Therefore they are equivalent by using the distributive property
