Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
we have

step 1
Eliminate the parenthesis

The symbol of the term 3x is incorrect, must be positive instead of negative
so

Group terms that contain the same variable

Combine like terms

For me, it’s easiest when i distribute the negative sign if i need to and then reorder to put the like terms together. and then solve.
(also sorry if it’s a little confusing with all the parentheses, i use them because it helps me organize everything)
21. (4x-9y) + (6x+10) + (8y-4)
= 4x + 6x - 9y + 8y + 10 - 4
= 10x - y + 6
—> D
22. (6x+9y-15) + (2x-9y+8)
= 6x + 2x + 9y - 9y - 15 + 8 (the 9y - 9y = 0, so you can leave it out of the final equation)
= 8x - 7
—> D
23. (9x^2-8x+3) - (5x^2-6x+4)
= 9x^2 - 8x + 3 - 5x^2 -(-6x) - 4
= 9x^2 - 5x^2 - 8x + 6x + 3 - 4 (remember that two - signs next to each other make a + sign)
= 4x^2 - 2x - 1
—> A
24. (9x^3-7x+8) - (5x^2+7x-10)
= 9x^3 - 7x + 8 - 5x^2 - 7x -(-10)
= 9x^3 - 5x^2 - 7x - 7x + 8 + 10
= 9x^3 - 5x^2 - 14x + 18
—> D
25. (6x+14y) - ((7x+5y) + (x-8y))
= (6x+14y) - (7x + x + 5y - 8y)
= (6x+14y) - (8x-3y)
= 6x + 14y - 8x -(-3y)
= 6x - 8x + 14y + 3y
= -2x + 17y
—> B
