Certainly! Let's break it down step by step:
1) Start by applying the distributive property: 8 * 3x = 24x and 8 * -2 = -16.
The expression now becomes 4 + 24x - 16 - 7x.
2) Combine like terms: 24x - 7x = 17x.
The expression becomes 4 + 17x - 16.
3) Lastly, simplify: 4 - 16 = -12.
The final simplified expression is -12 + 17x.
