Don’t use the distributive property first

To simplify the expression, we will apply the distributive property and then use the order of operations (PEMDAS).

First, distribute the 8 to the terms inside the parentheses:
4 + 8 * 3x - 8 * 2 - 7x.

Next, simplify:
4 + 24x - 16 - 7x.

Now, combine like terms:
(24x - 7x) + (4 - 16),
17x - 12.

So, the simplified expression is 17x - 12.
