Ok, make sure you put the powers correctly. I know what you mean but someone else may not. So it's step 2. This is because the 4 doesn't mean add a digit.
Answer:
the answer is e=mc^2 I think
Given statement is "You download 12 new songs to your MP3 player. then you delete 5 old songs."
We have to write each amount as an integer.
Download 12 new songs means you are adding number to your MP3 player so we will use + sign for 12
So the amount in integer form will be +12
Ddelete 5 old songs means you are subtracting number from your MP3 player so we will use - sign for 5
So the amount in integer form will be -5
combining both expressions we can write final statement as:
+12-5
Which can be simplified to +7.
