Using the Multiplication Property of -1

Mathematics
1 answer:
Papessa [141]3 years ago
7 0

A. -(a+5)

Because the negative sign is outside the parenthesis, multiplying by -1 just removes the negative sign:

-(a+5) * -1 = a+5


B. -(-x+31)

Apply the distributive property:

-(-x+31) becomes (- -x +31) which simplifies to (x+31)

multiply that by -1 to get -x+31


C. -(4x+12)

Because the negative sign is outside the parenthesis, multiplying by -1 just removes the negative sign:

-(4x+12) * -1 = 4x+12
