−x+9

Answer 1

To determine which expressions are equivalent to \((2x + 2) - (3x + 11)\), let's simplify the given expression step by step:

1. Start with the original expression:
\[
(2x + 2) - (3x + 11)
\]

2. Distribute the negative sign across the second parentheses:
\[
2x + 2 - 3x - 11
\]

3. Combine like terms:
- Combine the \(x\) terms: \(2x - 3x = -x\)
- Combine the constant terms: \(2 - 11 = -9\)

Putting it all together, we have:
\[
-x - 9
\]

Now, we can check which provided responses are equivalent to \(-x - 9\):

1. **−x + 13**: not equivalent
2. **2x − 3x + 2 − 11**: simplifies to \(-x - 9\), so this is equivalent.
3. **5x + 9**: not equivalent
4. **2x − 3x + 2 + 11**: simplifies to \(-x + 13\), so this is not equivalent.
5. **−x − 9**: this is equivalent.
6. **5x + 13**: not equivalent
7. **−x + 9**: not equivalent

The two expressions that are equivalent to \((2x + 2) - (3x + 11)\) are:

1. **2x − 3x + 2 − 11**
2. **−x − 9**
