Question

=O REAL NUMBERSDistributive property: Integer coefficientsUse the distributive property to remove the parentheses.+(-5u-+*+4)INOPX 5 ?

Answer 1

The given expression is:

$-(-5u-x+4)$

Using the distributive property of multiplication over addition, we have

$\begin{gathered} -(-5u-x+4)=-(-5u)-(-x)-(+4) \\ =+5u+x-4=5u+x-4 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, removing the paranthesis gives:

5u + x - 4
