the negative sign before the parentheses mean you multiply the expression in the parentheses by -1
OpenStudy (onepieceftw):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
ohh. i feel bad for only giving one of you best response because you all are so helpful
OpenStudy (anonymous):
distribute
=−3a+−4b+5a+−4b
combine Like Terms
=−3a+−4b+5a+−4b
=(−3a+5a)+(−4b+−4b)
=2a+−8b
answer
