Question Simplify. 11−9(−2x−3) (1 point) Responses −4x−6 negative 4 x minus 6 18x−38 18 x minus 38 −4x+6 negative 4 x plus 6 18x+38

Answer 1

To simplify the expression \( 11 - 9(-2x - 3) \), follow these steps:

1. Distribute the \(-9\) across \((-2x - 3)\): \[ -9(-2x) - 9(-3) = 18x + 27 \]

2. Substitute back into the expression: \[ 11 + (18x + 27) \]

3. Combine like terms: \[ 11 + 27 + 18x = 18x + 38 \]

So, the simplified expression is \( 18x + 38 \).

The correct response is: 18x + 38.
