Before we get started, it is good to remember PEMDAS - the acronym that tells you the order to carry out equations.
P = parentheses
E = exponents
M = multiplication
D = division
A = addition
S = subtraction
Knowing this, we should start by doing the equations <em>within </em>each parentheses.

So we did the addition and subtraction pieces within each group leaving us with the above equation. Now let's multiply:

20 is the answer.
Answer:
18
Step-by-step explanation:
perimeter of the base = 4+4+5+5=18
the first box will make up the base of the prism
and perimeter is the sum of the sides of the shape
Easy peasy
just subsitute I(x) for the x in the h(x) so
h(I(s))=-(2s+3)^2-4
distribute and simplify
h(I(s))=-(4s^2+12s+9)-4
h(I(s))=-4s^2-12s-9-4
h(I(s))=-4s^2-12s-13
