- [ - (2x + 2) -1 ]
do inside the brackets first
the - represents a -1
[ -1 * ( 2x + 2) -1]
Distribute the -1
[ (-1*2x) + (-1*2) -1]
A negative times a positive is a negative
[ -2x + -2 -1]
a negative minus a positive is a negative... -2-1 = -3
[-2x -3] .. This is the simplified form for what is inside the brackets.
Remember there is a - in front of the brackets.
- [ -2x -3]
the - represents -1, and multiplication is implied.
-1 * [ -2x -3]
distribute the -1
(-1 x -2x) + (-1*-3)
a negative times a positive is a positive.
2x + 3 is you answer.
