Question 2

Answer:

-4x-1

Explanation:

Question 3

$\huge\text{Hey there!}$

$\huge\textbf{Equation:}$

$\mathsf{-1(2x + 3) - 2(x - 1)}$

$\huge\textbf{Simplifying:}$

$\mathsf{-1(2x + 3) - 2(x - 1)}$

$\huge\textbf{Distribute \boxed{-1} \& \boxed{-2} within the}\\\\\huge\textbf{parentheses:}$

$\mathsf{= -1(2x) - 1(3) - 2(x) - 2(-1)}$

$\huge\textbf{Combine the like terms:}$

$\mathsf{= -2x - 3 -2x + 2}$

$\mathsf{= (-2x - 2x) + (-3 + 2)}$

$\mathsf{= -2x - 2x - 3 + 2}$

$\mathsf{= -4x - 1}$

$\huge\textbf{Therefore, your answer should be:}$

$\huge\boxed{\frak{-4\mathsf x - 1}}\huge\checkmark$

$\text{Or you could simply say \boxed{\textsf{Option D.}} because it is closer to the correct answer.}$

$\huge\text{Good luck on your assignment \& enjoy your day!}$
