The minus sign before the parentheses is a short form for (-1). Also, a number immediately before the open parentheses implies a multiplication.
So the given expression is actually equal to
(-1)*(c-11)
Now this can be simplified by removal of the parentheses using the distributive properties of multiplication over addition/subtraction to give:
(-1)*c + (-1)*(-11)
Simplify to get the final answer.
Find an equivalent expression without parentheses.
-(c-11)=
