To simplify the expression \((2x + 2) - (3x + 11)\), follow these steps:
1. Distribute the negative sign to the terms inside the parentheses:
\[
(2x + 2) - (3x + 11) = 2x + 2 - 3x - 11
\]
2. Combine like terms:
- Combine the \(x\) terms: \(2x - 3x = -x\)
- Combine the constant terms: \(2 - 11 = -9\)
Thus, the simplified expression is:
\[
-x - 9
\]
The correct response is:
\(-x - 9\)
