Answer 9

No, that is not even the right form of the answer.
What happened to the x and y?
I don't think you understand the question as well as henkjan thought you did.

first of all, do you know how to simplify
-(2x-5y)
???
as it says above, you need to "distribute the negative sign"
do you know what that means? what do you get by doing that?

Answer 10

um does it stay like that

Answer 11

no, the rule of distribution works like this in general:\[a(x+y)=ax+ay\]for your problem we treat "a" as -1, so we have\[-1*(2x-5y)=-2x+5y\](remember that minus times minus is positive)
