Answer:
-9+x=-20
Step-by-step explanation:
I am not so positive on this one, but if you are not doing inequalities, then this should be correct.
"More than" would insinuate that you are adding. In this class, you would have a number to replace that x, but since no number was given, you place the x in its place. x=-11, because when you "add" -9 with something to get -20, it would have to be -11. Negative numbers can be confusing because when you subtract a negative number by another negative, you end up with a negative. Like in this case. Normally, you would just put -11, so it would look like -9 - 11 = -20. But since this says "more than", unless you are doing inequalities, you add.
If you are doing inequalities, then your answer should be this:
-9 > x = -20
I hope this helps!
-No one
-18x-8y-14 because you need to distribute the digits
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:
x³ + 5x² + 5x - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x³ + 3x² - x + 2x² + 6x - 2 ← collect like terms
= x³ + (3x² + 2x² ) + (- x + 6x ) - 2
= x³ + 5x² + 5x - 2
