Answer:

76

Explanation:

1. Replace n with 10. The equation will look like:

-5+9(10-1)

2. Remember PEMDAS! The first step in solving the equation is solving whatever is in the parenthesis:

-5+9(9)

3. The next step is exponents, but since there aren't exponents in the equation, we move to multiplication and division. The equation should now look like this:

-5+81

4. Now we move on to addition and subtraction; add the two numbers!

-5+81=76

There's your answer!! Hope this helped :)
