To distribute the negative sign outside the parentheses in the expression \(-(-3y + 8.2z - 5.4)\), you will change the signs of each term inside the parentheses. Here's how it's done:
\[
-(-3y) + - (8.2z) + -(-5.4)
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
3y - 8.2z + 5.4
\]
Thus, the equivalent expression is:
\[
3y - 8.2z + 5.4
\]
\[
-(-3y) + - (8.2z) + -(-5.4)
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
3y - 8.2z + 5.4
\]
Thus, the equivalent expression is:
\[
3y - 8.2z + 5.4
\]
