Hi there!
First you simplify.
Simplified = 9x+(−5)+(−8)+x
Then you combine the like terms.
<span><span><span><span><span>9x</span>+(<span>−5)</span></span>+(<span>−8)</span></span>+x (*-5 and -8 are like terms) (9x and x are like terms)
</span></span><span><span><span>Combined it's~ (<span><span>9x</span>+x</span>)</span>+<span>(<span><span>−5</span>+<span>−8</span></span>)
</span></span></span><span><span><span>Solve and that comes to 10x</span>+<span>−<span>13 which is your answer. :)
Hope this helps.

It goes in 5 times but with 1 remainder
(a4-6a+5)-(a4-3a+4a-6)
by expressing like term
a4-a4=0
-6a-(-3a+4a)=-5a
5-(-6)=11
:we have-5a+11
My understanding is that when the power is a negative number, move it to the denominator and change it to positive.
In this case, the base is y, the power is -3
y^(-3)=1/(y^3)
The outcomes with neither die showing 2 is 25
<h3>How to determine the outcomes with neither die showing 2?</h3>
The sample sizes of the dice are given as:
Blue die = 6
Red die = 6
The outcomes with neither die showing 2 is
Outcomes = Red die * blue die - (blue die + red die) + 1
So, we have:
Outcomes = 6 * 6 - (6 + 6) + 1
Evaluate
Outcomes = 25
Hence, the outcomes with neither die showing 2 is 25
