Answer 1

@SolomonZelman

Answer 2

Just plug in -6 everywhere you see "a" (instead of a) and plug in 5 every time you see "b" instead of b.

Answer 3

i know but for some reason i got 166

Answer 4

Now im getting 22 @SolomonZelman

Answer 5

the first parenthesis is equal to 14, and therefore 1st parenthesis to the second power equals 196.

2(-6)^2=2(36)=72

So...

196+72=?

Answer 6

i got the 2cd part correct the 1st part i got wrong
=268
