OpenStudy (nikato):

Do you mean 2x^2 -y?

Yes!

2*3^2-(-2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is that right @nikato

OpenStudy (nikato):

Correct. And using PEMDAS u can simplify it. Remember exponents then multiplication and then lastly subtract

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yea, just wanted to make sure that first part was right

20

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2*9+2=20

OpenStudy (nikato):

So it'll be 2 * 9-(-2) 18-(-2) =20 Remember -(-)= +
