Well, if you don't know what the book says, it's a pretty sure thing that I don't!Not really sure
I'm sorry that your book has no examples or explanations, and that your teacher hasn't covered this at all. You might want to complain to the administration!I just know one of the expressions is -(-7x^2+4)

My guess (and that's all it is!)is that maybe you're supposed to multiply the "-" through the parentheses, and simplify. Good luck!
