Answer:

see below

Explanation:

Use the distributive property to eliminate parentheses. Remember that the product (-1)(-1) is 1.

a-(1-b)+1 = a -1 +b +1 = a + b . . . . this one

__

-(1-a)-b+1 = -1 +a -b +1 = a - b

__

(a-1)-(b-1) = a - 1 - b + 1 = a - b

__

a-(-b-1)+1 = a +b +1 +1 = a + b + 2
