Question

Simplify the expression.

(7 – c)(–1)

–7 – c
7 + c
7 – c
–7 + c

Answer 1

(7 - c)(-1) = 7(-1) - c(-1) = -7 - (-c) = -7 + c

Answer 2

Answer:

Option D is correct

$-7 + c$

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property says that:

$a\cdot (b+c) = a\cdot b+ a\cdot c$

Simplify the expression: $(7-c)(-1)$

Given: $(7-c)(-1)$

Using distributive property:

$7 \cdot (-1) - c \cdot (-1)$

Simplify:

$-7 + c$

Therefore, the simplified of given expression is $-7 + c$
