These tiles represent the expression 4(

To simplify the expression \( 4(-x - 2) \), we'll distribute the 4 across the terms inside the parentheses.

Here are the steps:

1. Start with the expression: \[ 4(-x - 2) \]

2. Distribute the 4: \[ 4 \cdot (-x) + 4 \cdot (-2) = -4x - 8 \]

So the expression \( 4(-x - 2) \) is equivalent to: \[ -4x - 8 \]
