Simplify the expression: −(7s+2)−(s+5) -(7s + 2) - (s + 5) −(7s+2)−(s+5)
Distribute the negative sign to the first parentheses.
−(7s+2)=−7s−2 -(7s + 2) = -7s - 2 −(7s+2)=−7s−2
Distribute the negative sign to the second parentheses.
−(s+5)=−s−5 -(s + 5) = -s - 5 −(s+5)=−s−5
Combine the results from the two steps.
−7s−2−s−5 -7s - 2 - s - 5 −7s−2−s−5
Combine like terms.
−7s−s−2−5=−8s−7 -7s - s - 2 - 5 = -8s - 7 −7s−s−2−5=−8s−7
The simplified expression is: −8s−7 \boxed{-8s - 7} −8s−7
