Question

Write an equivalent expression by distributing the ","sign outside the parentheses:-(-5.9s – 6)

Answer 1

Given the expression

`-\text{ (-5.9s - 6)}`

To solve the above expression

We can follow the steps:

Step 1: Expand the parenthesis

`-\text{ x - 5.9s -x - 6 }`

Note that: - x - = +

So that

`+\text{ }5.9s\text{ +6}`

Step 2: Re-write the solution in the standard form

`5.9s\text{ + 6}`

Answer = 5.9s +6
