For this case we must find the values of the expressions given taking into account that the variable "x" is equal to -2. (
x = -2)

Expression 1:


x + 3 =\\-2 + 3 =

Different signs are subtracted and the sign of the major is placed.


-2 + 3 = 1

Expression 2:


x-1 =\\-2-1

Equal signs are added and the same sign is placed.


-2-1 = -3

ANswer:

1,-3
