Problem 98
Question
Write each algebraic expression without parentheses. $$-(-17 y)$$
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
+17y
1Step 1: Recognize the negative signs
The expression -(-17y) has a negative sign outside and another negative sign just before 17y inside the parentheses. In mathematics, the product of two negative numbers or signs is a positive number or sign.
2Step 2: Apply the multiplication rule
By the rule mentioned above, multiply the external negative sign by the negative sign inside the parentheses to change it into a positive sign. This will result in the expression (-)*(-17y) becoming +17y.
