-4-(-10) = -4+10 = 6

-10-(-4) = -10+4= -6

Therefore, 6-(-6) = 6+6 = 12

Q is the son of R but R is not the mother. So, R is the Father of Q. P is married to R

So, P is the wife of R and the mother of Q, X is the daughter of P and hence of R and so she is the Sister of Q, Y is the brother of R and Z is the brother of P. 

R is the father of Q 

We know that a negative value plus a positive value always count backward and the sign depends on the bigger value sign.

When you are adding a negative number to a positive number, then the value counts backward and takes the sign of the biggest number.

For example::

Adding -5 and +2

-5 + 2 = -3 (big number is 5 and its sign is '-')

Adding -3 and  +5

+5 + (-3) = 5 - 3 = +2(big number is 5 and it has sign '+').  

Let x be number of houses and y be colors.

on the basis of question
x = 4y+1
x = 5(y-1)
on solving these 2 equations x = 25

In an algebraic expression, like terms are terms that contain the same variables raised to the same powers. Calculating x-squared plus x-squared is a matter of combining like terms. 

Now x^2 + x^2 = 2x^2

Hence, x-squared plus x-squared is equal to 2 times x squared.
