inkyvoyd · Answer

Alright, that's ok.

inkyvoyd · Answer

multiply the stuff in the minus sign by negative one.

anonymous · Answer

Combine like terms, make sure to keep track of the negative signs (a negative applied to a negative is the same as a positive).

inkyvoyd · Answer

"– (6x2 – 4x – 5)"=6x^2+4x+5
Combine like terms.

anonymous · Answer

would i combine like term next

anonymous · Answer

The negative distributes to the 6x^2 term as well (it's negative).

inkyvoyd · Answer

whenever you see a minus in front of parenthesis, it means to subtract what in the parenthesis, or, add the negative of everything in the parenthesis.
for example
(x^2-3x+4)-(2x^2+2x-5)
=x^2-3x+4-2x^2-2x+5
=-x^2-5x+9
In fact don't be scared by the variables (the x). Treat it just like you would any number. Let's pretend that x is 5.
(5^2-3*5+4)-(2*5^2+2*5-5)
how would you simplify it?
