submit answer

Explanation:

Step1: Distribute the negative sign

To distribute the negative sign outside the parentheses \(-(5g - 5.5)\), we multiply each term inside the parentheses by \(-1\).
For the first term \(5g\), we have \(-1\times5g=-5g\).
For the second term \(-5.5\), we have \(-1\times(-5.5) = 5.5\).

Answer:

\(-5g + 5.5\)
