(-13X - 15 ) - (-9X + 16 )
To simplify this expression, we distribute the negative sign in the second set of parentheses:
= -13X - 15 + 9X - 16 [Note: Multiplying a negative by a negative gives a positive]
Combine like terms:
= -4X - 31
Therefore, the expression is equivalent to -4X - 31, which is option B.
