How to solve negative 6 multipied 2x minus9 minus negative 4x plus 5?

Answer 1

The answer will be -1. First, you write it down. -6 x 2x - 9 - (-4x) + 5

Then you find out what is -6 x 2x. It equals -12x since when you multiply a negative times a positive you will get a negative. Now, your new problem will be -12x - 9 - (-4x) x 5. Then, you find out what is -4x x 5. It will be -20x. Now you problem will be -12x - 9 - (-20x). Now you find out what is -12x - (-20x). The answer will be 8. You find the answer by changing it to an addition problem. You add the second number's reciprocal. So it will be -12 + 20. Then you get the sign of the larger and subtract, so now you will get 8. The last step is to find the answer to 8 - 9. Again you add its reciprocal so it will be 8 + -9, get the sign of the larger, negative, and subtract 8 - 9. So, your final answer will be -1.
