Answer:

In Q39, the value 3x should be positive and in Q40, the final answer is missing 8x and the fact that 4x^2 is negative (-4x^2)

Explanation:

39:

1.
-(-3x) is presented as
-3x when it should be
+3x, as 2 negatives make a positive.

2. Again,
-3x is shown instead of
+3x

3. The answer
-x^2-2x should instead be
-x^2+4x, as
-3x is used to reach this incorrect answer instead of the correct
+3x

40:

1.
(x^3-4x^2+3)+(-3x^3+8x-2)=(x^3-3x^3)-4x^2+8x+(3-2)=-2^3-4x^2+8x+1,

The final answer is wrong as it is missing the 8x and the fact that it is
-4x^2and not
+4x^2
