What's happening is that every subtraction can be written as "addition of the opposite."
18-5 = 18 + (-5)
One reason this is done in the work you showed is that they're trying to show why you distribute the negative and the 1 into the parentheses, why you multiply everything in the parentheses by "-1" and not just 1.
The other reason is to later to be able to move the individual terms around, so you'll be able to combine like terms.
When you move terms around, the sign has to stay attached to the term, so writing all the subtractions as addition helps keep the sign attached.
To find the volume we use an equation:
volume = length x width x height
Since this shape is a cube, you only need to know one side to find the volume since all of the sides are equal.
So all you need to find the volume is to multiply 4(1/2) which I am going to simplify to 4.5, is plug it into the equation.
volume = 4.5 x 4.5 x 4.5
Which will get you an answer of 91.125 inches cubed
Hope this helps :)
