Answer:

8x-2, or
(1)/(4) if you meant it with a zero at the end

Explanation:

When a factor is outside the parentheses, multiply what is inside it by the factor in front!

2(4x-1)=2*4x+2*-1=8x-2

Or if you meant it with a 0 at the end,

$8x-2=0\\8x=2\\x=(2)/(8)\\ x=(1)/(4)$

Hope this helps!

P.S. Hi little Sis! Hope you get better at math!
