Answer:
−4x−6
Step-by-step explanation:
Distribute the Negative Sign:
=2(x+2)−x+3(−x−2)+−1(2x+4)
=2(x+2)+−x+3(−x−2)+−1(2x)+(−1)(4)
=2(x+2)+−x+3(−x−2)+−2x+−4
Distribute:
=(2)(x)+(2)(2)+−x+(3)(−x)+(3)(−2)+−2x+−4
=2x+4+−x+−3x+−6+−2x+−4
Combine Like Terms:
=2x+4+−x+−3x+−6+−2x+−4
=(2x+−x+−3x+−2x)+(4+−6+−4)
=−4x+−6
