| ① | Multiply $ \color{blue}{0} $ by $ \left( 4x-8\right) $ $$ \color{blue}{0} \cdot \left( 4x-8\right) = 0x0 $$ |
| ② | Remove the parentheses by changing the sign of each term within them. $$ - \left(0x0 \right) = 0x0 $$ |
| ③ | Combine like terms: $$ \color{blue}{0x} \color{red}{0} + \color{blue}{14x} + \color{red}{3} = \color{blue}{14x} + \color{red}{3} $$ |
