Question

− ( x + 3 ) − 2 ( 4 x − 3 ) I need the correct steps

Answer 1

Answer:

-9x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

You would distribute first.

− ( x + 3 ) − 2 ( 4x − 3 ) → -x − 3 − 8x + 6

(If you see a negative sign in front of a parenthesis without a number, its usually a negative 1)

From there, you would combine like terms.

-x − 3 − 8x + 6 → -9x + 3
