Answer:

-6x + 22

Explanation:

Note: This problem doesn't have a sign between 2 and 16, we would have to assume it is addition since 16 is 16 positive.

First we have to do distributive property,

-4 x 3x = -12x and -4 x -1 = 4

The equation should look like this:

-12x+4 + 6x + 2 + 16

Then combine like terms meaning do -12x + 6x

The answer should be -6x

The equation: -6x + 4 + 2 + 16

Then solve 4+2+16 which should equal 22

The answer: -6x + 22

Simplified!
