The algebraic expression for the word phrase "the quotient of 8 and the sum of 3 and m" is 8 / (3 + m).
–(8n – 5v)
The algebraic expression for the word phrase "-(8n - 5v)" is simply -8n + 5v.
Why is that? I want to know how to get to the answer, not the answer please!
Apologies for the confusion. To simplify the expression - (8n - 5v), you follow the distributive property of multiplication: distribute the negative sign to both terms inside the parentheses.
Using the distributive property, the expression becomes -1 * 8n + (-1) * (-5v), which simplifies to -8n + 5v.
