Subtract 4x from each side to rewrite the equation.
4(x+2) = 4x+2
4x + 8 = 4x + 2
−4x −4x
=?
4(x+2) = 4x+2
4x + 8 = 4x + 2
−4x −4x
=?

Let's start with the equation \(4(x + 2) = 4x + 2\) and rewrite it step-by-step.
1. Begin with the original equation:
\[
4(x + 2) = 4x + 2
\]
2. Distribute the \(4\) on the left side:
\[
4x + 8 = 4x + 2
\]
3. Now, subtract \(4x\) from each side to simplify:
\[
4x + 8 - 4x = 4x + 2 - 4x
\]
4. This simplifies to:
\[
8 = 2
\]
So the rewritten equation after subtracting \(4x\) from each side is \(8 = 2\), which indicates that there is no solution to the original equation—it's a contradiction.
