Use the distributive property to remove the parentheses.

Question

- ( - 6v - 2u + 3)

Answer 1

To remove the parentheses using the distributive property, you need to distribute the negative sign across the terms inside the parentheses.

Here's how you do it step-by-step:

Given expression: \[

• ( - 6v - 2u + 3) \]

You can distribute the negative sign to each term inside the parentheses: \[ = -(-6v) - (-2u) - 3 \]

Now, simplify each term: \[ = 6v + 2u - 3 \]

So, the expression without parentheses is: \[ 6v + 2u - 3 \]
