If x is equal to 2 and the equation is 2 + 2^2 - x + x - - 3 what is the answer

The answer is 9

2+2^2-2+2 - (-3)

2+4-2 + 2 - (-3)

2+2+5

9

If yo mean evaluate

not sure what the double negative is doing because see x - - 3, wat be taht?

if yo mean x - (-3) then that means x+3

anyway

2+2^2-x+x - (-3)

pemdas

2+4-x+x - (-3)

6-x+x - (-3)

6+0+3

9

the x's cancel out

9 is result
