Write an equivalent expression by distributing the "minus−" sign outside the parentheses:

Question

−(−3.5s−7)

Answer 1

To distribute the minus sign outside the parentheses, you need to change the signs of each term inside the parentheses.

Starting with the expression:

\[ -(−3.5s−7) \]

Distributing the minus sign gives us:

\[ 3.5s + 7 \]

So, the equivalent expression is:

\[ 3.5s + 7 \]
