Remeniscing - a little historical humour.

6ab-(12ab-4ab) = 6ab+ -1(12ab-4ab) there is an invisible 1 between the minus sign and the bracket.

= 6ab+(-1)*12ab+(-1)*-4ab

= 6ab-12ab+4ab

= you can do the rest.

This is the full explanation but you can just remember that if there is a minus sign outside the bracket like this one all the signs inside the bracket get changed when the brackets are removed.
For example
-(-a+6-2g) would become a-6+2g

I hope that you can learn from this.

Just divide then ignore the decimal part of the answer.

question doesn't make sense.

Your question is not complete
You need to say x = something. or f (something that isn't x)

-56 - (-34) = -56 - -34

if 2 + or - signs are so close to that you can put a circle around them without anything being in the way then,
if the signs are the same replace with a + that is ++=+ , and - - = +
if the signs are opposites replace with a - that is - + = - , and + - = -

you have 2 minuses so replace with a +

-56 + 34

V=5kg/10g/cm3

5000g/10g/cm3 = 500/cm3 but this doesn't make sense. You can't have cm3 on the bottom and no units on the top.

This is the sum of a geometric progression GP Do you know about those?

a=15
r=1.15
n= 200

s=a ( r^n - 1) / (r-1)

s= 15 * ( 1.15^200 - 1 ) / 0.15

sum of all the costs = 1.37 * 10^14 This is a very big number.

DEFINITELY -Do not put in t he zeros it is too easy to make a mistake!

the are 1000 mg in a gram.
(a milligram is smaller than a gram, so there will be more of them, so you need to multiple - I always go through this thought pattern when I am deciding whether to multiply or divide)

5.97 x 10ˆ(27) x 1000 mg

You can do this in your head, there are 3 zeros in 1000 so the exponent goes up by 3
5.9 x 10^30

or, on the calculator it is best to use the exponential button (REMEMBER NOT TO PUT THE 10x AS WELL)

5.9 exp 27 x 1000 = 5.9 x 10^30

Just think about each side side separately

There a 4 isosceles triangles, all the same, and 1 square base.

Hopefully you know how to find the area of the square.

Each triangle is 1/2 x base x height (the height is the slant height of the pyramid)

If you are not given the slant height you will need to work it out using the base the perpendicular height and pythagoras' theorem.

You don't use a common denominator when multiplying, that is only for adding and subtracting fractions.

You can do it straight off on a calculator.

If doing it by hand you will need to know that a positive times by a negative is negative.

then multiply the top for the top (numerator) 9x3

and multiply the bottoms for the denominator. 11*23
