[tex]

-4x-4=-4(x+2) \\

-4x-4=-4x-8 \\

-4\neq-8\Longrightarrow x\notin\mathbb{R}

[/tex]

The answer is D. No solution because we got false equivalency.

Hope this helps.

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- 4x - 4 = - 4(x + 2) ← distribute right side

- 4x - 4 = - 4x - 8 ( add 4 to both sides )

- 4x = - 4x - 4 ( add 4x to both sides )

0 = - 4 ← not possible

Hence the equation has no solution → D
