Question

Use the distributive property to remove the parentheses.

-(3u - 4w - 5)

Answer 1

Answer:

-3u + 4w + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

First you distribute the negative one

-1 (3u - 4w - 5)

Then you get,

-3u      

because negative times positive is negative.

Then you distribute -1(-4w) which is

4w

because negative times neg. is positive.

Finally you distribute the -1(-5) which is

5

because neg. times neg. is positive

Therefore the answer is: -3u + 4w + 5
