Simplify by using the distributive property 3-2 (2x+2) - (4x+2)

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

Pretend that there is a - 1 in front of the second bracket

3-2 (2x+2) - 1 (4x+2)

Multiply the first bracket by 2

Multiply the second bracket by - 1

(-2) (2x) (-2) (2) = -4x-4

(-1) (4x) (-1) (2) = - 4x-2

3-4x-4-4x-2

-4x-4x+3-4-2

Do 3-4-2 first

3-4-2

-1-2

=-3

-4x-4x-3

-8x-3

Answer: - 8x-3
