Problem 97
Question
Write each algebraic expression without parentheses. $$-(-14 x)$$
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
The solution to the algebraic expression -(-14 x) without parentheses is 14 x.
1Step 1: Understand the expression
The expression given is \(-(-14 x)\). Here, there are two negative signs. The outer negative sign can be thought of as multiplying the term inside the parentheses by -1.
2Step 2: Apply the arithmetic operation
The two negative signs (-1 multiplied by -1) give a positive result. Thus, when we remove the parentheses, the expression -(-14 x) becomes +14 x.
3Step 3: Write the final outcome
Hence, by removing the parentheses and simplifying, the algebraic expression -(-14 x) becomes 14 x.
