Answer: 20+12=44-12

Explanation:

You can distribute the multiplication on both sides of the equation.

Whenever you see a number before parentheses, it means to multiply that number to all terms in the parentheses.

so the new equation will be: (4 * 5) +(4 *3) = (2 *22) - (2*6)

Next, we simplify: 20 + 12 = 44 - 12

If the above equation is what you are looking for then use that but you can simplify further and add the numbers together so it will be

32=32
