Question

What is the simplified expression for the expression below? -1(2x + 3) - 2(x - 1) O 4x+ O 4x - 2 o 4x + 2 0 4x -​

Answer 1

Given:

The expression is:

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

To find:

The simplified form of the given expression.

Solution:

We have,

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

Using distributive property, we get

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

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

On combining like terms, we get

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

$-1(2x+3)-2(x-1)=-4x-1$

Therefore, the simplified form of the given expression is $-4x-1$.
