Answer:

-4 -6 2 -2x 3-4x 2x-3

Explanation:

3 - 7= -4 (7 is larger so we get - sign)

-4-2=-6(we add "-" terms but they have the - sign)

-4-(-6)=-4+6=2(- multiplied by - =+ meaning - - = +)

x-3x=-2x(3x is larger)

3-4x=3-4x(Unlike Terms)

-3 - (-2x)=-3+2x=2x-3(Unlike terms, so we only simplify the signs)
