Question

Write an equivalent expression by distributing the "minus−" sign outside the parentheses:
minus, left parenthesis, minus, 5, point, 5, y, plus, 5, z, right parenthesis, minus, 7, point, 6
−(−5.5y+5z)−7.6

Answer 1

-(−5.5y + 5z) − 7.6 = 5.5y − 5z − 7.6

(Distributed the minus: −(−5.5y) = 5.5y and −(5z) = −5z.)
