#1 ok
#2 ok
#3 8 (x^2 is the highest power, so goes first)
Although since you have 5x-2x I suspect a typo. If you meant -2x^3, then your answer is ok.
#4 ok
#5 ok, if x is replaced by w
#6 ok
#7 no: -6-(-8) = +2
#8 ok
#9 no.
(3x-4)(3x-4) = 9x^2-24x+16
square the 1st and last values. You squared the power, but added the coefficients.
(3x)(3x) = 9x^2, not 6x^2
#10 same problem
(2x)^2 = 4x^2 because 2^2=4, not because 2+2=4
4^2 = 16, not 8
4x^2-16
#2 ok
