@jash123 may you show the steps, how did you get it?

OpenStudy (jash123):

alones (alones):

You need this simplfied?

OpenStudy (ageta):

when you are multiplying with negative change every sign in the bracket

OpenStudy (ageta):

positive will become negative and negative will be positive

OpenStudy (jash123):

no i just need to remove the parenthese

OpenStudy (ageta):

so it will become -5v+y-6

OpenStudy (ageta):

@jash123 did you get it

OpenStudy (jash123):

yeah

OpenStudy (jash123):

thanks

OpenStudy (ageta):

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

When you find the opposite of a sum or a difference, you change the sign of each term of the sum or difference.

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

$$\huge -(a \pm b) = (-a) \pm (-b)$$

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

$$\huge\text{Recall:}$$ $$\huge -a=-1a$$ $$\huge\text{Let}$$ $$\huge a = 5v-y+6$$ $$\huge\text{then}$$ $$\huge-a = -(5v-y+6)=-1•(5v-y+6)$$ $$\huge\text{since}:$$ $$\huge a(b+c)=ab+ac$$ $$\huge -(5v-y+6)=-1•(5v-y+6)=(-1)5v-(-1)y+(-1)6$$ $$\huge = -5v+y-6$$
