Solution Steps

To simplify the expression \(-(-x+y-5)\), we need to distribute the negative sign across the terms inside the parentheses. This involves changing the sign of each term within the parentheses.

Step 1: Distribute the Negative Sign

To simplify the expression \(-(-x + y - 5)\), we distribute the negative sign across each term inside the parentheses. This changes the sign of each term:

\[ -(-x + y - 5) = x - y + 5 \]

Final Answer

The simplified expression is \(\boxed{x - y + 5}\).

(a) How is the bar graph misleading? What does the graph seem to convey? Choose the correct answer below. A. The horizontal axis ends at 2016 instead of this year. This means all of the data between 2016 and this year are included in the 2016 bar, so the 2016 bar is larger than it should be. B. The vertical axis starts at 34,000 instead of 0 . This makes where the bars should start unclear. The vertical scaling is incorrect. All the bars look larger than they should. C. The vertical axis starts at 34,000 instead of 0 . This tends to indicate that the median income for females changed at a faster rate than it actually did. D. The horizontal axis starts at 2012 instead of 2000 . This means all of the data from 2000 through 2004 are included in the 2012 bar, so the 2012 bar is larger than it should be.
