Question

valent expression by distributing the \—\ sign outside the par
-(-10k + 8.8m + 10)

Explanation:

Step1: Distribute the negative sign

To distribute the negative sign outside the parentheses, we multiply each term inside the parentheses by -1. So we have: $-1\times(-10k) + -1\times(8.8m) + -1\times(10)$

Step2: Simplify each term

Simplifying each term: $(-1\times -10k)=10k$, $(-1\times8.8m)= -8.8m$, $(-1\times10)= -10$
Combining these simplified terms gives us the equivalent expression: $10k - 8.8m - 10$

Answer:

$10k - 8.8m - 10$
