Answer:

The simplest form of the given expression is 8.

Explanation:

(-11/2x + 3) - 2(-11/4x - 5/2)

Distribute 2 to (-11/4x - 5/2)

(-11/2x + 3) - (-11/2x - 5)

Now, combine like terms. The terms with the x value will cancel each other out because a negative plus a positive of the same number will equal zero. For example, -2 + 2 = 0.

So, the expression in the simplest form is going to be 8. The x values have cancelled each other out so all there is left is the constant number which is 8.
