Your answer is 40. Hope it helps

Explanation:

You need to open up the bracket #4*3x=12x#, and #4*5=20#, so your equation is #2x- 16 -16x =12x - 20 + 4#, to collect like terms it will be #28x -16x -12x =20 + 4 + 16#. Dealing with the #x# side of the equation will be #28x -16x# that is equal to #12x# then #12x -12x = 0#. Now to the second part # 20 + 4 =24# and # 24 +16 =40#
