Enter your answer by filling in the boxes. Enter decimals

Answer 1

-1.3x + 2

Explanation:

The negative sign outside the bracket is a -1:

-1 (1.3x - 2)

to distribute, multiply each term inside the bracket (1.3x and -2) by the number outside the bracket (-1)

-1 (1.3x - 2) = -1 × 1.3x + (-1 × -2)

= -1.3x + 2
