[tex]\huge\text{Hey there!}[/tex]
[tex]\huge\textbf{Equation:}[/tex]
[tex]\mathsf{-1(2x + 3) - 2(x - 1)}[/tex]
[tex]\huge\textbf{Simplifying:}[/tex]
[tex]\mathsf{-1(2x + 3) - 2(x - 1)}[/tex]
[tex]\huge\textbf{Distribute \boxed{-1} \& \boxed{-2} within the}\\\\\huge\textbf{parentheses:}[/tex]
[tex]\mathsf{= -1(2x) - 1(3) - 2(x) - 2(-1)}[/tex]
[tex]\huge\textbf{Combine the like terms:}[/tex]
[tex]\mathsf{= -2x - 3 -2x + 2}[/tex]
[tex]\mathsf{= (-2x - 2x) + (-3 + 2)}[/tex]
[tex]\mathsf{= -2x - 2x - 3 + 2}[/tex]
[tex]\mathsf{= -4x - 1}[/tex]
[tex]\huge\textbf{Therefore, your answer should be:}[/tex]
[tex]\huge\boxed{\frak{-4\mathsf x - 1}}\huge\checkmark[/tex]
[tex]\text{Or you could simply say \boxed{\textsf{Option D.}} because it is closer to the correct answer.}[/tex]
[tex]\huge\text{Good luck on your assignment \& enjoy your day!}[/tex]
