Answer:
11 - 4x
Step-by-step explanation:
-5 - 3x - x - (-16)
Reorder the terms so that like terms are next to each other
-5 - (-16) - 3x - x
Combine like terms
11 - 4x
To solve both of these expressions, we want to add or subtract from left to right.
For the first one, we can rewrite it as:
8-6-9
=2-9
=-7
The second one we can rewrite as:
5-7+9+8-4
=-2+9+8-4
=7+8-4
=15-4
=11
<span>I can be wrong, but I think that the answer is: To find the values of p, q, r and s, you should start by finding all factor pairs of the leading coefficiant and constant term. </span>
