To solve the equation \(2(4x - 3) - 8 = 4 + 2x\), you would follow these steps and apply the corresponding properties of equality:

1. **Distribute**: Apply the distribution property to \(2(4x - 3)\).
2. **Combine Like Terms**: Simplify the left side of the equation after distribution.
3. **Subtraction**: If needed, isolate the variable by subtracting terms from both sides.
4. **Addition**: If needed, add terms to both sides.
5. **Division**: Finally, solve for \(x\) by dividing both sides if required.

Considering these steps, the response that accurately reflects the order of properties applied is:

**Distribute, Subtraction, Addition, Division Properties**.
