Here you go! I hope this help! Remember that negative times negatives are positive, positive times a positive is a positive, and a negative times a positive is a negative!

Correct Work

-2(7+x) - 4(9-x)

-14- 2x -36 + 4x

-2x+4x-14-36

2x-50

Mistakes made

  1. The likes terms weren't combined
  2. -6x was incorrect. -2x+4x = 2, when adding negative and positive numbers you subtract, the sign takes the number with the larger value which is +4 so the answer should be positive +
