Sign In
Rewrite the negative sign as - 1, then use the Distributive Property.
2- 6t
We are asked to simplify the given expression. For this specific exercise, the negative sign can be thought of as - 1. Then we can use the Distributive Property to multiply the terms on the inside of the parentheses by the term on the outside, - 1.
Rewrite negative sign as -1
Distribute - 1
(- a)(- b)=a* b
(- a)b = - ab
a+(- b)=a-b
Since 2 and 6t are not like terms, we cannot simplify the expression any further.
