Question

HURRY PLEASE NEED IT NOW! What is the simplified value of the expression below? -1(2x + 3) -2 (x - 1)?

Answer 1

$\huge \boxed{-4x-1}$, you can use the distributive property of $\displaystyle a(b+c)=ab+ac$.  

Multiply from left to right.

$\displaystyle 1\times(2x+3)=2x+3$

$\displaystyle -(2x+3)-2(x-1)$

$\displaystyle -(2x+3)=-2x-3$

$-2(x-1)=-2x+2=-2x-3-2x+2$

$\Large\textnormal{Solve to find the answer.}$

$\displaystyle-2x-3-2x+2=-4x-1$

$\large \boxed{-4x-1}$, which is our answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

-4x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

-1(2x + 3) -2 (x - 1)

Distribute the -1 and the -2

-2x - 3 -2 x  +2
