I'm A Little Stuck D: Can i have Some Help? -2(x + 3) = -2(x + 1) - 4.

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

So step 1 would be to distribute the -2 into their parenthesis...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i did , and i got -2x+-6 = -2x+-6

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

sorry ... Okay good...that is correct... -2x - 6 = -2x - 6 Now you combine like terms...what do you get? *hint...it wont be something normal*

OpenStudy (anonymous):
