Use the distributive property to remove the parentheses.
-(y-2w-1)
The distributive property states that when you have a negative sign in front of parentheses, you should distribute the negative sign to each term inside the parentheses.
So, using the distributive property to remove the parentheses, we have:
-(y-2w-1)
= -1 * (y-2w-1)
= -y + 2w + 1
To remove the parentheses using the distributive property, you need to distribute the negative sign to each term inside the parentheses.
The distributive property states that for any real numbers a, b, and c:
a * (b + c) = (a * b) + (a * c)
Applying this to the expression -(y - 2w - 1), we distribute the negative sign to each term inside the parentheses:
-1 * y + (-1) * (-2w) + (-1) * (-1)
This simplifies to:
-y + 2w + 1
To remove the parentheses using the distributive property, you need to distribute the negative sign (-) to every term inside the parentheses.
The distributive property states that for any real numbers a, b, and c:
a * (b + c) = a * b + a * c
Applying this property to -(y-2w-1), we distribute the negative sign to each term inside the parentheses:
-(y-2w-1) = -y + 2w + 1
Therefore, after applying the distributive property, the expression -(y-2w-1) becomes -y + 2w + 1.
