Answer :
Hi there,
We need to rewrite the expression [tex]-(6x-17)[/tex] & apply the distributive property.
All we need to do is basically distribute the [tex]-[/tex] sign through the parentheses. But before we start, let's review some basic arithmetic rules:
- + × - = - (A positive multiplied by a negative results in a negative product)
- - × - = - (A negative multiplied by a negative results in a positive product)
Then:
[tex]-(6x-17)\\-6x+17[/tex]
answer -- [tex]\boxed{-6x+17}[/tex].
I hope the answer - and explanation - made sense,
happy studying.
