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

minus, 6, point, 3, y, minus, left parenthesis, minus, 10, z, minus, 0, point, 3, right parenthesis
−6.3y−(−10z−0.3)

1 answer

To distribute the minus sign in the expression \(-6.3y - (-10z - 0.3)\), we need to change the signs of the terms inside the parentheses:

  1. The term \(-10z\) becomes \(+10z\).
  2. The term \(-0.3\) becomes \(+0.3\).

So, the expression becomes:

\[ -6.3y + 10z + 0.3 \]

Thus, the equivalent expression is:

\[ -6.3y + 10z + 0.3 \]
