Question

use the distributive property to remove the parentheses. -(-2x - 3v + 3)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall distributive property

The distributive property for \(a(b + c + d)=ab+ac + ad\). Here \(a=- 1\), \(b=-2x\), \(c = - 3v\), \(d = 3\).

Step2: Multiply each term inside parentheses

\(-1\times(-2x)-1\times(-3v)-1\times3\).

Step3: Simplify each product

\(2x + 3v-3\).

Answer:

\(2x + 3v-3\)
