Question

Are the following two expressions the same? $-(4t^2 -16t - 20)$ AND $4t^2 - 16t - 20$

Answer 1

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Use - to open the bracket

$- (4t^2 -16t - 20) = \\ - 4 {t}^{2} + 16t + 20$

Compare the two

: They are not the same

$4t^2 - 16t - 20$

Note :

$- \times - = + \\ + \times - = - \\ + \times + = + \\ - \times + = -$
