Answer 1

Answer:

X-19

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to distribute the three into the numbers in the parenthesis,

(3 * x) + (3  * -5) - (2x + 4)

That then turns into,

3x - 15 - (2x + 4)

but we aren't done distributing yet, because the second set of parenthesis has a negative sign in front of it we also have to distribute that. (this is because the negative sign is really just -1)

3x - 15 + (-1 * 2x) + (-1 * 4)

that turns into,

3x - 15 - 2x -4

from here all we have to do is add like terms,

(3x - 2x) + (-15 + -4)

and that leaves us with: 1x -19 or x-19

Hope that helped :))
