Answer 1

To rewrite the expression \(-(-9j - 5z)\) without parentheses using the distributive property, we can distribute the negative sign across the terms inside the parentheses:

\[
-(-9j - 5z) = -(-9j) - (-5z)
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
9j + 5z
\]

So the correct option is:

**C. \(9j + 5z\)**
