What is the simplified expression for the expression below?
–1(2x + 3) – 2(x – 1)
a.–4x + 1
b.–4x – 2
c.–4x + 2
d.–4x – 1

We have the expression -1(2x + 3) - 2(x - 1).
Distribute the -1 across the 2x and 3.

-1(2x + 3) - 2(x - 1) = -2x - 3 - 2(x - 1)

Now distribute the 2 across the x and -1.

-2x - 3 - 2(x - 1) = -2x - 3 - 2x + 2

Combine like terms.

-2x - 3 - 2x + 2 = -4x - 1

So, D -4x - 1 is the answer.
