The first step for solving this expression is to distribute -2 through the first parenthesis. x - 2xy + 2y + 4xy - x × (3 + y) Distribute -x through the second set of the parenthesis. x - 2xy + 2y + 4xy - 3x - xy Now collect together the like terms with a single x as a variable. -2x - 2xy + 2y + 4xy - xy Lastly,, collect the like term with an xy variable to find your final answer. -2x + xy + 2y Let me know if you have any further questions. :)
