Solve f(x)=-2/x+2-2

$$f ( x ) = - \frac { 2 } { x + 2 } - 2$$

Evaluate

$$-\frac{2\left(x+3\right)}{x+2}$$

Short Solution Steps

To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Multiply 2 times \frac{x+2}{x+2}.

$$-\frac{2}{x+2}-\frac{2\left(x+2\right)}{x+2}$$

Since -\frac{2}{x+2} and \frac{2\left(x+2\right)}{x+2} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{-2-2\left(x+2\right)}{x+2}$$

Do the multiplications in -2-2\left(x+2\right).

$$\frac{-2-2x-4}{x+2}$$

Combine like terms in -2-2x-4.

$$\frac{-6-2x}{x+2}$$

Factor

$$-\frac{2\left(x+3\right)}{x+2}$$
