Answer:

-x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

(3x - 4) - (4x - 1) =

The first set of parentheses is unnecessary, so you can just remove it.

= 3x - 4 - (4x - 1)

To remove the second set of parentheses, you must distribute the negative sign to its left by the terms inside the parentheses. To do this, change every sign inside the parentheses.

= 3x - 4 - 4x + 1

Now combine like terms. Terms with x are like terms and are combined together. Therms without x are like terms and are combined together.

= 3x - 4x - 4 + 1

= -x - 3

Product is multiplication:

x * (x+2) = 201

x^2 +2x = 120

x^2 + 2x -120 = 0

(x+12) (x-10) = 0

x = -12 and x = 10

-12 x -1 = 12
