Answer 2

Hi there,

We need to rewrite the expression $-(6x-17)$ & apply the distributive property.

All we need to do is basically distribute the $-$ sign through the parentheses. But before we start, let's review some basic arithmetic rules:

• + × - = - (A positive multiplied by a negative results in a negative product)
• - × - = - (A negative multiplied by a negative results in a positive product)

Then:

$-(6x-17)\\-6x+17$

answer -- $\boxed{-6x+17}$.

I hope the answer - and explanation - made sense,

happy studying.
