-1[(-3)(x-y)]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First multiply the two negative signs and you get a plus sign and solve the brackets to get answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3x-3y

OpenStudy (australopithecus):

-1[(-3)(x-y)] = -1[(-3x - y(-3)]

OpenStudy (australopithecus):

= -1[-3x + -1(-3y)]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3x-3y?

OpenStudy (australopithecus):

a negative * a negative gives a positive

OpenStudy (australopithecus):

work inside the brackets then multiply the negative -1 on the outside of the brackets inside the brackets

OpenStudy (anonymous):
