Answer 1

The opposite of -10·t and t - 10·t is t

Explanation:

1) The opposite of 4·x and -5 + 4·x is given as follows;

-4·x + (-5 + 4·x) = -4·x -5 + 4·x = -4·x + 4·x - 5 = 0 - 5 = -5

2) The opposite of -10·t and t - 10·t is given as follows;

-(-10·t) + (t - 10·t) = 10·t + t - 10·t = 10·t - 10·t + t = 0 + t = t

3) The opposite of (-7 - 4·v) and -4·v is given as follows;

-(-7 - 4·v) + (-4·v) = -1 × (-7 - 4·v) - 4·v = 7 + 4·v - 4·v = 7 + 0 = 7
