Which expression is equivalent to 4(x + 3) - 2(-x - 5)?

Answer:
the last one because when using the distributive property, you get
4x + 12 - 2x - 10
Answer:
4x + 12 + 2x + 10
Step-by-step explanation:
4( x + 3 ) -2( -x -5 )
1. Multiply 4 and x = 4x
2. Multiply 4 and 3 = 12
3. Multiply -2 and -x = 2x
(turns positive as there are 2 negative signs)
4. Multiply -2 and -5 = 10
(turns positive as there are 2 negative signs)
