4 - 6[2 - (2x + 3)]
start as far into the brackets as possible.
we take [2 - (2x + 3)] and
We remember that minus a plus is minus
[2-2x-3]
combine
[-2x-1]
now we have
4-6[-2x-1]
isolating -6[-2x-1]
We remember that minus times minus is plus
(-6)*(-2x)+(-6)*(-1)=12x+6
no we have
4-[12x+6]
We remember that minus a plus is minus
4-12x-6
which simplifies to
-12x-2
