Question

-4(X-1)+2 which of the following is equivalent to the expression

Answer 1

-2 ( 2x - 3 )

Explanation:

We know that,

( + ) × ( + ) = ( + )

( - ) × ( - ) = ( - )

( + ) × ( - ) = ( - )

Accordingly,

-4 ( x - 1 ) + 2

First, solve the brackets. That is, multiply each term inside the brackets by -4.

- 4x + 4 + 2

Combine like terms.

- 4x + 6

You can take the common factor out of the brackets.

-2 ( 2x - 3 )
