Beyond the Answer

First, let's distribute the \(-4\) in \(-4(x + 4)\). This gives us: \[ -4x - 16 \] Now we can combine this with the \(3x\) term: \[ -4x - 16 + 3x \] Combining the \(x\) terms: \[ -4x + 3x = -1x = -x \] Thus, the entire expression simplifies to: \[ -x - 16 \] So, in a nice clean finish, the simplified form is: \[ -x - 16 \]
