Answer 9

−2(x + 3)
distribute the -2

Answer 10

−2(x + 3) = −2(x + 1) − 4

Distribute.
-2(x + 3) = -2x - 6
-2(x + 1) = -2x - 2

Now you have:
-2x - 6 = -2x - 2 - 4

Can you combine like terms?

Answer 11

yes i do but not in these kind of math problems

Answer 12

Okay.
-2x - 6 = -2x - 2 - 4

What is -2 - 4?

Answer 13

\[-2x - 6 = -2x (- 2 - 4) \](-2 - 4) = -6
\[-2x - 6 = -2x - 6 \]Add 6 to both sides.\[-2x - 6 + 6= -2x - 6 + 6 \]\[-2x + 0 = -2x + 0\]\[-2x = -2x\]Divide both sides by -2.\[x = x\]
