(-2x)-6
(2x)^-6
(2x)^-6
(1/2x)^6 =
1/64x^6
To simplify the expression (-2x) - 6, we need to perform the subtraction operation and simplify the expression as much as possible.
Here's how you can do it step by step:
Step 1: Distribute the -1 to -2x and -6:
(-2x) - 6 = -2x + (-6)
Step 2: Combine like terms by adding the coefficients of the x terms:
-2x + (-6) = -2x - 6
So, the simplified expression is -2x - 6.
Note: In this case, there are no like terms to combine further, so we cannot simplify it any more.
