$(f + g) (- 2)$

Step 1

Simplify by multiplying through.

Apply the distributive property.

$f \cdot - 2 + g \cdot - 2$

Reorder.

Move $- 2$ to the left of $f$ .

$- 2 \cdot f + g \cdot - 2$

Move $- 2$ to the left of $g$ .

$- 2 \cdot f - 2 \cdot g$

$- 2 \cdot f - 2 \cdot g$

$- 2 \cdot f - 2 \cdot g$

Step 2

Multiply $- 2$ by $g$ .

$- 2 f - 2 g$
