Write an equivalent expression by distributing the "minus−" sign outside the parentheses:

Question

−(0.7g+6h)−0.4

Answer 1

To distribute the minus sign outside the parentheses, we multiply each term inside the parentheses by -1.

Starting with the expression:

\[ -(0.7g + 6h) - 0.4 \]

Distributing the minus sign gives us:

\[ -0.7g - 6h - 0.4 \]

So, the equivalent expression is:

\[ -0.7g - 6h - 0.4 \]
