1.What is the simplified form of -(x-4) ?
a. -x-4
b. -x+4
c. x+4
d. x-4

Answer 1

B

Answer 2

- (x - 4)
this is the same as -1(x - 4) and to get rid of the parenthesis we have to distribute the -1 through the parenthesis. That means multiply -1 by everything in the parenthesis.
Turning the problem into : -1 * x + (-1 * -4)
which equals -1x + 4 or just -x + 4

Answer 3

-(x-4)
-x+4
