Who is correct

Analyzing the solutions

For, Jaleel; we have:

[tex]2(x - 2) + 2 = 2x - 4 +2[/tex] --- this is correct

[tex]2(x - 2) + 2 = 2x - 2[/tex] --- this is correct

For Lisa, we have:

[tex]2(x - 2) + 2 = 2x - 2+2[/tex] --- this is incorrect because:

[tex]2(x - 2) + 2 \ne 2x - 2+2[/tex]

Hence, Jaleel is correct
