Answer:

-2x+8

Step-by-step explanation:

so lets start

you want to distribute the -2 to the parenthesis

so -2(x) = -2x  and  -2(-4) = 8 because of 2 negatives make a positive

so then you just add them

-2x+8

Answer: [tex]-2x + 8[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

  • In order to simplify this we must distribute the -2 to the values inside of the parentheses.

[tex]-2*x = -2x\\\-2 * -4 = 8[/tex]

Since two negatives are being multiplied, the product is a positive number.

The final simplified answer is [tex]-2x + 8[/tex] .
