What's happening is that every subtraction can be written as "addition of the opposite."
18-5 = 18 + (-5)
One reason this is done in the work you showed is that they're trying to show why you distribute the negative and the 1 into the parentheses, why you multiply everything in the parentheses by "-1" and not just 1.
The other reason is to later to be able to move the individual terms around, so you'll be able to combine like terms.
When you move terms around, the sign has to stay attached to the term, so writing all the subtractions as addition helps keep the sign attached.

Answer:
The product (–5)(–3)(–8)(–6) should be Positive.
Step-by-step explanation:
The product of 2 negative numbers equal a positive product.
N * N = P
-5*-3=15
-8*-6=48
The product of 2 positive numbers is positive.
P * P = P
15 * 48 = 720
Your answer should be: Positive because the products (–5)(–3) and (–8)(–6) are positive, and the product of two positive numbers is positive.

Answer: B) $4,000
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for determining simple interest is expressed as
I = PRT/100
Where
I represents interest paid on the loan.
P represents the principal or amount taken as loan
R represents interest rate
T represents the duration of the loan in years.
Considering Cathy's loan,
P = $20,000
R = 5.2%
T = 10 years
I = (20000 × 5.2 × 10)/100
I = $10400
Considering Steven's loan,
P = $20,000
R = 4.8%
T = 15 years
I = (20000 × 4.8 × 15)/100
I = $14400
The difference between the amounts of interest Cathy and Steven paid for their loans is
14400 - 10400 = $4000
