use the distributive property to remove the parentheses. -(-2v - x + 3)
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Apply the distributive property
Multiply each term inside the parentheses by (-1). [ \begin{align*} -(-2v - x + 3)&=(-1)\times(-2v)+(-1)\times(-x)+(-1)\times3 \end{align*} ]
Step2: Simplify each product
[ \begin{align*} (-1)\times(-2v)+(-1)\times(-x)+(-1)\times3&=2v + x- 3 \end{align*} ]
Answer:
(2v + x - 3)
