Question

Simplify the expression – (7x-6).

Answer 1

-7x+6 is your answer

Answer 2

-7x+6

Explanation:

Use the distributive property.

Add the negative in front of each number in the parenthesis.

- (7x) -(-6)

Since 6 is negative, a negative multiplied by a negative is equal to a positive. Change the negative in front of the 6 into a positive.

-7x + 6
