first distribute the -2 to the numbers inside the quotation marks.

so -2x3=-6 and -2x1=-2

now it’s simplified to 4-6x-2=32

then you combine like terms

the like terms in this are 4 and 2

subtract 4 and 2 to get 2

then you’d get 4+2=32

add 4 and 2 to get 6

subtract 32-6 to get 26

hope this helps
