    The first set of parentheses is unnecessary, so just drop it.

    The second set of parentheses has a negative sign to its left.

    To simplify the second set of parentheses, change every sign inside the parentheses. Then combine like terms.

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

    = - x - 2 - 4x - 3

    = - x - 4x - 2 - 3

    = - 5x - 5
