@ShadowLegendX

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

Just make sure that they all have the same signs

OpenStudy (jalil.h):

i think it b is it right

OpenStudy (jalil.h):

@ShadowLegendX is it right

zepdrix (zepdrix):

I would like to give you an example that might help without completely giving away the answer. In these other expressions, they've applied some fancy factoring techniques. If we have \(\large\rm -a-b-c\) We could factor the negative out of EVERY letter, changing the operation between them to addition. This is equivalent to the original expression, \(\large\rm -(a+b+c)\) Option A looks sort of like this, but it's missing the negative on the outside of the brackets. So A is probably not the correct answer. We can factor the negative (or subtraction) out of b and c, this will change the operation between b and c to addition. This is equivalent to the original expression, \(\large\rm -a-(b+c)\)

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Does this other form look sort of like B or C? Hmm

OpenStudy (jalil.h):

kind of

OpenStudy (jalil.h):

C

@3mar

OpenStudy (3mar):

Well, I am here. I was just praying!

OpenStudy (jalil.h):

is it c

OpenStudy (jalil.h):

b

OpenStudy (3mar):

I want to guide you, so please follow me!

OpenStudy (jalil.h):

k

OpenStudy (jalil.h):

A

OpenStudy (3mar):

Are you there?@jalil.H

OpenStudy (jalil.h):

yes

OpenStudy (jalil.h):

either c or d

OpenStudy (jalil.h):

D

OpenStudy (3mar):

Why don't you take (-1) as a common factor from (-4.9) and (-2.6) as @zepdrix has illustrated?
