Question

2(-322 + x + 1) - 2(4x - 3x + 1)?

Explain your reasoning or show the work that helped you decide on your answer.

Answer 1

-644

Explanation:

2(-322 + x + 1) - 2(4x - 3x + 1)

First distribute the 2 and the -2 over the parentheses:

= - 644 + 2x + 2 - 8x + 6x - 2 Now add like terms.

= -8x + 2x + 6x - 644 + 2 - 2

= -8x + 8x - 644

= -644.

Answer 2

Answer:-644

Step-by-step explanation: by expanding, 2(-322+x+1) = -642+2x

And -2(4x-3x+1)= -2x-2.

Adding together, we have

-642 +2x -2x-2= -644
