When you see an equation with parenthesis around it, you can use this:
Parenthesis
Exponents
Multiplication
Division
Addition
Subtraction
Otherwise known as PEMDAS.
We can see that in the equation, there are parenthesis, so we can open those. We open parenthesis by taking the number right next to the parenthesis (or outside the parenthesis) and we multiply that number by everything inside. So this is what it would look like:
-2x^2 - 10x + 8
See how the signs changed? This rule only applies when you multiply something, but here is how I think of it:
+ and + always equals +.
- and - always equals +.
- and + always equals -.
+ and - always equals -.
So that's it! Just to be clear, the answer is:
-2x^2 - 10x + 8
Hope I helped, sorry if I'm wrong!

Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
6x- 3x + 6=18
6(4)- 3(4) + 6=18
24-12 + 6=18
12 +6=18
18=18

Answer:
The solution to the given expression is 1/2562890625
Step-by-step explanation:
(3⁴ × 5⁴)⁻²
Simplify the terms inside the parentheses. 3⁴ × 5⁴ is the same as 15⁴ because even though the base numbers are different, the exponents are the same which makes it similar.
(15⁴)⁻²
Now, for this step, we are going to add the exponents because when multiplying, the exponential numbers add together. So 4 × -2 = -8.
15⁻⁸
Since we can not have a negative exponent, we are going to change this into a fraction. We do this by putting this term in a fraction where 1 is the numerator and the term is the denominator.
1 / 15⁻⁸
Now, we simplify the term on the bottom.
1 / 2562890625
So, this is the solution to the problem.
