For the numbers and variables x...think about whether you can simplify it by taking out something from each term that would work for all of them

I got A wrong. so im guessing it is D?

anonymous · Answer

The answer is B.  To make your calculation easier, you can always factor out the (-1) first and make your equation looks nicer. Then notice that the common factor of this question is 2 and x. So take both of them out and put together with the (-1). Now you have (-2x) as a factor. Then you can find out the remaining term is (x^2+2x-2)
