-(x+3y-z)

-x-3y+z

So, I have multiplied every term insides the parentheses by -1.

Remember, a negative times a negative equals a positive, so -z times (-1) equals -z.


\huge\boxed{\mathfrak{Answer:{\boxed{\sf{-x-3y+z}}}}}


\bold{Hope\;it\;helps!}


\rm{Have\;a\;great\;day!

Answer:

-x - 3y + z

Explanation:

Think of a imaginary 1(-1 because of the sign) in front of the parenthesis and distribute it to the other number and so x will become -x, 3y will become -3y and -z will become z because two negatives make a positive.
