What is the simplified expression for the expression below?

-1 (2x + 3) - 2 (x - 1)

A.-4x + 1

B.-4x - 2

C.-4x + 2

D.-4x - 1

We have the expression - 1 (2x + 3) - 2 (x - 1).

Distribute the - 1 across the 2x and 3.

-1 (2x + 3) - 2 (x - 1) = - 2x - 3 - 2 (x - 1)

Now distribute the 2 across the x and - 1.

-2x - 3 - 2 (x - 1) = - 2x - 3 - 2x + 2

Combine like terms.

-2x - 3 - 2x + 2 = - 4x - 1

So, D - 4x - 1 is the answer.
