Hello. Let's start by following PEMDAS. The P stands for Parentheses, so the first thing we do is see if we can compute what's in the parentheses. Since one of the items inside is a variable, we can't, so we'll have to use the distributive property. |dw:1664932574508:dw|

Basically you'd multiple -4 by x and -2.

WDW4Life:

ok thanks

Shadow:

From there, all you need to do is look at each of the terms and compute the like terms. So you'd add together the x variables then add together the integers (regular numbers).

WDW4Life:

so the answer is -2x+15

Shadow:

Correct

Thank you!!!
