Hey there!!
Given equation :
- ( 2x - 5y + 1 )
Let's write this equation as :
-1 ( 2x - 5y + 1 )
Now, we use the distributive property.
Distribute -1 with 2x , -5y and 1
The final equation would be ( - 2x + 5y - 1 )
Hope my answer helps!
-(2x-5y+1)
To simplify multiply to each term -1.
-1(2x) = -2x
-1(-5y)= 5y
-1(1)=-1
So it will be -2x+5y-1
