Answer 1

What is the question?

Answer 2

(5x^2-4x-1)-(-4x^2-4)

Answer 3

x^2-4x-3
is this the asnwer

Answer 4

Okay. First, we need to remove the parentheses. We can just remove them from the first polynomial. For the second one, however, we must multiply each term in the second polynomial by -1.

Answer 5

Hang on a minute. I'm solving it now. I will let you know if you are correct.

Answer 6

It looks like you forgot to distribute the negative one. Try again. Apart from that, you did it correctly. :-)

Answer 7

-9x^2-8x-1

Answer 8

The first term should be positive.
Do you want me to tell you the answer or walk you through it?

Answer 9

tell me the answer plz

Answer 10

9x^2 - 4x + 3

Answer 11

After you distribute the -1, you are left with the following:
5x^2 - 4x - 1 + 4x^2 + 4

Answer 12

can you see the attached file

Answer 13

You then combine like terms
5x^2 + 4x^2 = 9x^2
-4x = -4x
-1 + 4 = 3
9x^2 - 4x + 3

Answer 14

Okay. I'm looking at the attachment now.

Answer 15

I'm not sure what those squares mean. I have never seen anything like it

Answer 16

i got more questions if you dont mind @bluediamond1999

Answer 17

That's fine. :-)

Answer 18

We need to subtract.
6x^2 + 2x - 2 - 5x^2 - 8x - 6

Answer 19

I'm not sure if we should have them in parentheses and distribute a -1 or not

Answer 20

I think there should be parentheses.
(6x^2 + 2x - 2) - (5x^2 - 8x - 6)
6x^2 + 2x - 2 - 5x^2 + 8x + 6
x^2 + 10x + 4
