(5x³ + 4x²) - (6x² - 2x - 9)
-1(6x²) -1(-2x) -1(-9) = -6x² + 2x + 9
5x³ + 4x² - 6x² + 2x + 9
5x³ - 2x² + 2x + 9 Choice D.

Explanation:
Make use of the properties of equality.
a = 2b +6 . . . . . given
a = 9b -8 . . . . . given
2b +6 = 9b -8 . . . . . . . substitution property of equality
6 = 7b -8 . . . . . . . . . . . subtraction property of equality
14 = 7b . . . . . . . . . . . . . addition property of equality
2 = b . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . division property of equality
b = 2 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . symmetric property of equality

Set up a proportion. 2/5 = x/40
to solve the equation first cross multiply.
x*5=40*2
x*5=80
now divide both sides by 5, 80 divided by 5 is equal to 16.
so the number of girls in the computer lab is 16.
