Your answer is 40. Hope it helps

Explanation:

You need to open up the bracket 4*3x=12x43x=12x, and 4*5=2045=20, so your equation is 2x- 16 -16x =12x - 20 + 42x1616x=12x20+4, to collect like terms it will be 28x -16x -12x =20 + 4 + 1628x16x12x=20+4+16. Dealing with the xx side of the equation will be 28x -16x28x16x that is equal to 12x12x then 12x -12x = 012x12x=0. Now to the second part 20 + 4 =2420+4=24 and 24 +16 =4024+16=40
