Problem 100
Question
Write each algebraic expression without parentheses. $$-(5 x-13 y-1)$$
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
The simplified algebraic expression without parentheses is \( -5x + 13y - 1\).
1Step 1: Distribute the negative sign
Apply the negative sign to each term inside the parentheses. That gives us: \(- (5x) + (-(-13y)) + (-1)\).
2Step 2: Simply the expression being mindful of the double negative
The negative of a negative is a positive. Hence, our final simplified algebraic expression without parentheses becomes: \(-5x + 13y -1\).
