Question in the picture 1-5
how to understand next steps what will be anyone give me explains​

Answer 1

Explanation:

remember a few things :

a × -1 = -a

-a × -1 = a

-1 × -1 = 1

1 × a = a

therefore,

-1 × -1 × a = 1 × a = a

and finally

c × (a + b) = c×a + c×b

so, we can say

(1 - 5) = -1 × -1 × (1 - 5) =

= -1 × (-1×1 + -1×-5) = -1 × (-1 + 5) =

= -1 × (5 - 1) = -(5 - 1)
