To simplify the expression \( (2x + 2) - (3x + 11) \), we first distribute the negative sign in front of the second parentheses:

\[
(2x + 2) - (3x + 11) = 2x + 2 - 3x - 11
\]

Next, we combine like terms. For the \(x\) terms, we have:

\[
2x - 3x = -x
\]

And for the constant terms, we have:

\[
2 - 11 = -9
\]

Putting it all together, we get:

\[
-x - 9
\]

So the simplified expression is:

\[
-x - 9
\]

Therefore, the correct answer is:

**−x − 9**

To simplify the expression \( 6(3x - 5) + 2(3x - 5) - 8(3x - 5) \), we notice that all terms have a common factor of \( (3x - 5) \). We can factor that out:

\[
= (3x - 5)(6 + 2 - 8)
\]

Now, we simplify the expression inside the parentheses:

\[
6 + 2 - 8 = 8 - 8 = 0
\]

So, we have:

\[
(3x - 5)(0) = 0
\]

Therefore, the simplified expression is:

\[
0
\]

So the correct answer is:

**0**

To evaluate the expression \( -4x + 7y \) when \( x = -2 \) and \( y = -4 \), we plug in the values of \( x \) and \( y \):

\[
-4(-2) + 7(-4)
\]

Calculating each part:

1. Calculate \( -4(-2) \):
\[
-4 \times -2 = 8
\]

2. Calculate \( 7(-4) \):
\[
7 \times -4 = -28
\]

Now combine the results:

\[
8 + (-28) = 8 - 28 = -20
\]

Thus, the value of the expression \( -4x + 7y \) when \( x = -2 \) and \( y = -4 \) is:

\[
-20
\]

Therefore, the correct answer is:

**−20**

To simplify the expression \( 4x + 6(3x - 2) \), we start by distributing the \(6\) into the parentheses:

\[
6(3x - 2) = 6 \cdot 3x - 6 \cdot 2 = 18x - 12
\]

Now, we can rewrite the original expression:

\[
4x + 6(3x - 2) = 4x + (18x - 12)
\]

Next, we combine like terms:

\[
4x + 18x - 12 = (4x + 18x) - 12 = 22x - 12
\]

Thus, the simplified expression is:

\[
22x - 12
\]

Therefore, the correct answer is:

**22x − 12**

To simplify the expression \(\frac{1}{3}(9x - 5)\), we distribute \(\frac{1}{3}\) to each term inside the parentheses:

\[
\frac{1}{3} \cdot 9x - \frac{1}{3} \cdot 5
\]

Calculating each term:

1. \(\frac{1}{3} \cdot 9x = 3x\)
2. \(\frac{1}{3} \cdot 5 = \frac{5}{3}\)

So we can rewrite the expression as:

\[
3x - \frac{5}{3}
\]

Therefore, the simplified expression is:

\[
3x - \frac{5}{3}
\]

Thus, the correct choice is:

**3x − 5/3**

To determine which factorization is equivalent to the expression \(30x + 70\), we can first factor out the greatest common factor (GCF) from the expression.

The GCF of \(30x\) and \(70\) is \(10\). So, we can factor out \(10\):

\[
30x + 70 = 10(3x + 7)
\]

Now, let's compare with the provided choices:

1. \(10(x + 7)\)
2. \(30(x + 2)\)
3. \(7(3x + 10)\)
4. \(10(3x + 7)\)

From the factorization we derived, we can see that:

**10(3x + 7)** is the correct factorization that is equivalent to \(30x + 70\).

Thus, the correct answer is:

**10(3x + 7)**.
