Question

Write an equivalent expression by distributing the "minus−" sign outside the parentheses:
minus, left parenthesis, 6, point, 1, s, plus, 2, right parenthesis
−(6.1s+2)

Answer 1

To distribute the minus sign outside the parentheses in the expression \(- (6.1s + 2)\), you would multiply each term inside the parentheses by \(-1\):

\[
-(6.1s) - (2) = -6.1s - 2
\]

So, the equivalent expression is:

\[
-6.1s - 2
\]
