Write an equivalent expression by distributing the "minus−" sign outside the parentheses: minus, left parenthesis, minus, 6, point, 2, d, plus, 5, f, minus, 10, right parenthesis −(−6.2d+5f−10)

Answer 1

To distribute the minus sign outside the parentheses for the expression \(-(-6.2d + 5f - 10)\), we need to change the signs of each term inside the parentheses:

1. The first term \(-6.2d\) becomes \(6.2d\)
2. The second term \(+5f\) becomes \(-5f\)
3. The third term \(-10\) becomes \(+10\)

Putting that all together, we get:

\[ 6.2d - 5f + 10 \]

Thus, the equivalent expression is:

\[ 6.2d - 5f + 10 \]
