Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. We need to distribute the negative sign across the terms inside the parentheses.
2. The expression inside the parentheses is $-7.6n + 1$ .

STEP 2

1. Distribute the negative sign to each term inside the parentheses.
2. Simplify the expression.

STEP 3

Distribute the negative sign to each term inside the parentheses:
$-(-7.6n + 1) = -(-7.6n) - 1$
This changes the signs of each term inside the parentheses.

STEP 4

Simplify the expression by changing the signs:
$-(-7.6n) = 7.6n$
Thus, the expression becomes:
$-10m + 7.6n - 1$
The equivalent expression is:
$\boxed{-10m + 7.6n - 1}$
