Note that
n^m*n^r=n^(m+r)
2^5*2^x=2^(5+x)
the answer is D
We have to calculate the difference of the given polynomials, we follows as:

After opening the brackets, the signs of all the terms changes as there is negative sign before the bracket.
=
Combining all the like terms, we get as
=
=
Option A is the correct answer.
X = 20
First, you move the 40 to the other side.
-2x=-40
Then, you divided -40 by -2.
x= -40/-2
x= 20
x is 20 because the negatives cancel out making it positive.
