Help please!! Simplify: (x^2+2x-5x)-(4x^2-3x-1) How do you switch the negative?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(1/3)*(sqrt(3)-(3x))*(sqrt(3)+(3x)) You can distribute the negative sign, combine like terms, and then factor.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[-1(a-b-c)=(-1)*a+(-1)*(-b)+(-1)*(-c)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the minus sign is + then (-4x^2+3x+1)??

OpenStudy (anonymous):
