Answer:

The answer is Student 1 and 3.

Step 1: Break down each multiple-choice.

Student 1: -(5r-3s+1)

Given the distributive law of multiplication, -, which is also known as -1, should be multiplied by every other term in the expression, which gives us -5r+3s-1

Student 2: -5r+3s+1 (given)

Student 3: -5r+3s-1

The values of Student 1 and 3 are the same, thus the answer is Student 1 and 3.
