Solve x=2(-1^4)-1^3+2(-1^2)-4(-1)-5

$$x = 2 ( - 1 ^ { 4 } ) - 1 ^ { 3 } + 2 ( - 1 ^ { 2 } ) - 4 ( - 1 ) - 5$$

Solve for x

$$x=-6$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Calculate 1 to the power of 4 and get 1.

$$x=2\left(-1\right)-1^{3}+2\left(-1^{2}\right)-4\left(-1\right)-5$$

Multiply 2 and -1 to get -2.

$$x=-2-1^{3}+2\left(-1^{2}\right)-4\left(-1\right)-5$$

Calculate 1 to the power of 3 and get 1.

$$x=-2-1+2\left(-1^{2}\right)-4\left(-1\right)-5$$

Subtract 1 from -2 to get -3.

$$x=-3+2\left(-1^{2}\right)-4\left(-1\right)-5$$

Calculate 1 to the power of 2 and get 1.

$$x=-3+2\left(-1\right)-4\left(-1\right)-5$$

Multiply 2 and -1 to get -2.

$$x=-3-2-4\left(-1\right)-5$$

Subtract 2 from -3 to get -5.

$$x=-5-4\left(-1\right)-5$$

Multiply 4 and -1 to get -4.

$$x=-5-\left(-4\right)-5$$

The opposite of -4 is 4.

$$x=-5+4-5$$

Add -5 and 4 to get -1.

$$x=-1-5$$

Subtract 5 from -1 to get -6.

$$x=-6$$

Assign x

$$x≔-6$$
