Question

Write an equivalent expression by distributing the "minus−" sign outside the parentheses:
minus, left parenthesis, minus, 2, v, minus, 0, point, 6, right parenthesis
−(−2v−0.6)

Answer 1

To distribute the minus sign outside the parentheses for the expression \(-(-2v - 0.6)\), we can apply the property that multiplying by -1 changes the signs of the terms within the parentheses.

Here’s how it works:

\[
-(-2v - 0.6) = -(-2v) - (-0.6) = 2v + 0.6
\]

Thus, the equivalent expression is:

\[
2v + 0.6
\]
