PLEASE HELP I WILL AWARD BRAINLIEST LOTS OF POINTS TOO <3

When solving the equation, which is the best first step to begin to simplify the equation?


Negative 2 (x + 3) = negative 10

(negative 2) (Negative 2) (x + 3) = negative 10 (negative 2)

Negative one-half (negative 2) (x + 3) = negative 10 (negative one-half)

StartFraction negative 2 over 2 EndFraction (x + 3) = StartFraction negative 10 over 2 EndFraction

StartFraction negative 2 over negative 10 EndFraction (x + 3) = StartFraction negative 10 over negative 10 EndFraction
