Which part is cubed?
And that's not written right:

x-5x+4x-6y+9x. . . .and that's where I stop. Is it (2+5)^2 or what?

Never argue with an idiot. They will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience every time.

yeah, some better notation would help immensely. Is this an equation with an = sign missing or just a 'simplify the expression" deal? I need to see it exactly how it was written, and please use the ^ symbol when dealing with exponents, i.e. 5 squared = 5^2, 5 cubed = 5^3. Parentheses are very important as well.
