a number outside a grouping symbol is negative, like in –7(2x + 1), you have to remember to use the multiplicative property of –1. This means that the signs of the terms within the grouping symbols will change: “+” signs will change to “–” signs and vice versa. Example Example Example Example Example 22222 Simplify th...
