Question

Write an equivalent expression by distributing the "minus−" sign outside the parentheses: −(−0.2m+6)

Answer 1

To distribute the minus sign outside the parentheses, you will change the sign of each term inside the parentheses.

Starting with the expression:

\[
-(−0.2m + 6)
\]

Distributing the minus sign gives:

\[
0.2m - 6
\]

So, the equivalent expression is:

\[
0.2m - 6
\]
