How to remove the parentheses from -(2w-u-5)


\blue\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Answer and How to Solve:-}}}}

Think of the minus sign as being -1.

Now multiply -1 times 2w:-

-2w

Multiply -1 times -u:-

u

Multiply -1 times -5:-

5

Put the three terms together:-


\dashrightarrow\boxed{\boxed{\bold{\underline{-2w+u+5}}}}\dashleftarrow

Good luck.
