Answer 2

Hi there,

We need to rewrite the expression
`-(6x-17)` & apply the distributive property.

All we need to do is basically distribute the
`-` sign through the parentheses. But before we start, let's review some basic arithmetic rules:

• + × - = - (A positive multiplied by a negative results in a negative product)
• - × - = - (A negative multiplied by a negative results in a positive product)

Then:

`-(6x-17)\\-6x+17`

answer --
`\boxed{-6x+17}`.

I hope the answer - and explanation - made sense,

happy studying.
