1. Simplify the expression: (2x + 2) - (3x + 11) = (1point)

Answer 1

The expression can be simplified as follows:

(2x + 2) - (3x + 11) = 2x + 2 - 3x - 11

Combine like terms:

= (2x - 3x) + (2 - 11)

= -x - 9

Answer 2

6(3x - 5) + 2(3x - 5) - 8(3x - 5)

Answer 3

To simplify the expression, we will distribute the coefficients:

6(3x - 5) + 2(3x - 5) - 8(3x - 5)

= 18x - 30 + 6x - 10 - 24x + 40

Combine like terms:

= (18x + 6x - 24x) + (-30 - 10 + 40)

= 0x + 0

= 0
