Question

I'm sorry I know this is math but no one's helping me in that forum so please help if you can
Simplify
1. 5-3x+y+6
2. 2x+3(x-5)+9
3. -20-(-5)*(-5)[2squared]
the bracketed part "2squared" is supposed to be exactly what is says. But, there's no way to put an actual squared number.

Answer 1

any ideas??

Answer 2

No, not exactly. These are the three problems out of about twenty that I don't understand.

Answer 3

do you know this material at all?

Answer 4

I have a general idea of it... But it's hard for me to understand on my own. Hence, help is being asked.

Answer 5

lol i see, what course is this??

Answer 6

Course? It's freshman level highschool, if that's what you mean. Algebra.

Answer 7

ok good. so you wanna get a "1+x+y" equation so everything is grouped together. so add 5 to 6.

Answer 8

so then it's 11-3x+y?

Answer 9

yes, is this the answer you are looking for??

Answer 10

I'm guessing that's as far as simplicity allows.
But for the second one, does the x is the parenthesis go into the 2x outside of the parenthesis?

Answer 11

And yes, all I need to do is simplify this.

Answer 12

u multiply so "2x+3 (x-5)" the parenthesis mean multiply
