1 answer

To simplify the expression \( 4x - 4 - 2x + 3 \), we can combine like terms.

Starting with the expression:

\[ 4x - 4 - 2x + 3 \]

  1. Combine the \( x \) terms: \[ 4x - 2x = 2x \]

  2. Combine the constant terms: \[ -4 + 3 = -1 \]

Putting it all together, we have:

\[ 2x - 1 \]

Therefore, the expression equivalent to \( 4x - 4 - 2x + 3 \) is:

2x - 1.
