Question

-2(x+2)-3(4-x) = -5x+2

Answer 1

- 2 x + 2 - 3 4 -x = -5x + 2

-2x-4-12 + 3x=-5x+2

x-16=-5х+2

x+5x = 2 +16

6x=18

x=3

Answer 2

2(x+2)-3(4-x) = -5x+2x=3

Answer 3

Let's simplify the given expression step by step:

-2(x+2) - 3(4-x)

First, distribute the -2 and -3 to the terms inside the parentheses:

-2x - 4 - 3(4) + 3x

Simplify the multiplication:

-2x - 4 - 12 + 3x

Combine like terms:

(-2x + 3x) + (-4 - 12)

Simplify further:

x - 16

The simplified expression is x - 16.

However, it's important to note that the result obtained from simplifying the expression does not match the right side of the equation (-5x + 2). Therefore, it seems that there might have been an error in the calculations or in the original equation. Please double-check the equation or provide additional information if needed.
