-x-9

Step-by-step explanation:

-(x+9)

The "-" at the beginning can be rewritten as -1

=-1(x+9)

To distribute -1 into the parentheses, multiply each value inside by -1

=(-1)(x)+(-1)(9)

=(-x)+(-9)

= -x-9

key: a=3, b=5, c=6

1. a+5

remember, a=3, so we plug that in to get 3+5=8

2. 15-c

c=6, so we plug that in to get 15-6=9

3. 4b

b=6, so we plug it in to get 4*6=24

time to try the rest on your own! if you put the answers below in a comment, i'll check them for you!
