#4 Nope (-7-(-5))w^2 + (-2-3)w + (-1-(-2)) = -2w^2-5w+1
You have a problem with subtraction?

Your answers are correct. Let's go through each of the questions to see how you arrived at the correct answers.

1. (9m + 6) + (-5m - 6)
To solve this, we can combine like terms by adding the coefficients of the 'm' terms and the constant terms separately.
Coefficients of 'm': (9m + (-5m)) = 4m
Constant terms: (6 + (-6)) = 0
The final answer is 4m + 0, which simplifies to 4m. So, your answer of 4m is correct.

2. (3r^2 + 7r + 1) + (4r^2 - 8r - 2)
Following a similar process, we can combine like terms by adding the coefficients of the 'r^2' terms, 'r' terms, and constant terms separately.
'r^2' terms: (3r^2 + 4r^2) = 7r^2
'r' terms: (7r + (-8r)) = -r
Constant terms: (1 + (-2)) = -1
The final answer is 7r^2 - r - 1. So, your answer of 7r^2 - r - 1 is correct.

3. (6h + 1) - (9h + 4)
To solve this, we can distribute the negative sign to the terms inside the parentheses.
(6h + 1) - (9h + 4) = 6h + 1 - 9h - 4
Next, combine like terms by adding the coefficients of the 'h' terms and the constant terms separately.
'h' terms: (6h + (-9h)) = -3h
Constant terms: (1 + (-4)) = -3
The final answer is -3h - 3. So, your answer of -3h - 3 is correct.

4. (-7w^2 - 2w - 1) - (-5w^2 + 3w - 2)
Again, we can distribute the negative sign to the terms inside the second parentheses.
(-7w^2 - 2w - 1) - (-5w^2 + 3w - 2) = -7w^2 - 2w - 1 + 5w^2 - 3w + 2
Next, combine like terms by adding the coefficients of the 'w^2' terms, 'w' terms, and constant terms separately.
'w^2' terms: (-7w^2 + 5w^2) = -2w^2
'w' terms: (-2w + (-3w)) = -5w
Constant terms: (-1 + 2) = 1
The final answer is -2w^2 - 5w + 1. So, your answer of -2w^2 - 5w + 1 is correct.

Great job on getting all the answers correct!
