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.
