3. -4x - 6
-3(x + 2) - x → ( distribute bracket by - 3)
= - 3x - 6 -x → (collect like terms)
=( - 3x - x) - 6 = - 4x - 6
4. A has the smallest value
A =( 2 - 3 ) = -1
B = 2 × 3 = 6
C = 2 + 3 = 5
D = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
A is negative while the others are all positive.
Thus A is the smallest value expression
