Question

Simplify the expression
(2x+2)-(3x+11)

5x-9
-x-9
-x-13
5x-13

Answer 1

The expression (2x+2)-(3x+11) can be simplified by distributing the negative sign to both terms inside the parentheses. This will result in:

2x + 2 - 3x - 11

Combining like terms, we get:

(2x - 3x) + (2 - 11) = -x - 9

Therefore, the simplified expression is -x - 9.
