Hello, It's me...I know that you do not know me but still hiiiii!
-5(-8n-9)-6n
40n+45-6n Use the distributive property
40n-6n+45 Combine like terms
=34n+45 And thats just as far as you can simplify because 34n is not a like term to 45.
2-(-2)
2+2
=4
Here's how it works, when you have 2 negative signs right next to eachother they turn into plus/posotive and you just add the numbers but remmber this only applies if you have two negative RIGHT next to each other x-(-y) but if you have something like -2-(-2), your answer would be 0 because you are adding becuse there are 2 negatives next to each other but that first 2 isn't corresponding with any other negative signs.
Hope I helped!!!
Start with the Parenthasis first then when thats solved go on to the division
10
move the decimal 2 to the left.
.124
7 1/3
like 4x + 9= 12x?
