Answer:
-4x - 6
Step-by-step explanation:
2(x + 2) = 2x + 4
3(-x - 2) = - 3x- 6
-(2x + 4) = -2x - 4
Add these binomials together
2x - 3x - 2x = -3x
4 - 6 - 4 = - 6
Result
-3x - 6
Now to this result we must subtract an x
-3x - x - 6 = - 4x - 6
Answer:
[tex]\boxed{\tt -4x-6}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\tt 2(x +2) - x +3 (-x -2) -(2x +4)[/tex]
First, apply the (Distributive property):-
[tex]\boxed{\tt -\left(a+b\right)=-a-b}[/tex]
[tex]\tt 2\left(x+2\right)-x+3\left(-x-2\right)-2x-4[/tex]
Expand, (Apply Distributive property):-
[tex]\tt 2\left(x+2\right)= \underline{\tt 2x+4}[/tex]
[tex]\tt 3\left(-x-2\right)=\underline{\tt -3x-6}[/tex]
[tex]\tt 2x+4-3x-6-3x-4[/tex]
Combine like terms:-
[tex]\tt (2x-3x-3x)+(4-6-4)[/tex]
[tex]\tt (2x-3x-3x)=\underline{\bold{ -4x}}[/tex]
[tex]\tt (4-6-4)=\underline{\bold{ -6}}[/tex]
[tex]\tt -4x-6[/tex]
