Find an equivalent expression without parentheses.
-(c-11)=
The minus sign before the parentheses is a short form for (-1). Also, a number immediately before the open parentheses implies a multiplication.
So the given expression is actually equal to
(-1)*(c-11)
Now this can be simplified by removal of the parentheses using the distributive properties of multiplication over addition/subtraction to give:
(-1)*c + (-1)*(-11)
Simplify to get the final answer.
To find an equivalent expression without parentheses, you can apply the distributive property of multiplication over addition/subtraction.
Given the expression: -(c-11), the negative sign outside the parentheses applies to both terms inside the parentheses.
Using the distributive property, we can distribute the negative sign to both terms inside the parentheses:
-(c-11) = -1 * c - (-1 * 11)
Simplifying further:
= -c - (-11)
Finally, simplifying the double negatives:
= -c + 11
Therefore, an equivalent expression without parentheses for -(c-11) is -c + 11.
