Hello.
First, the minus sign (in this case) is the same as -1.
Now, let's multiply -1 times the terms inside the parentheses:
[tex]\mathrm{-1(6x-17)}[/tex]
[tex]\mathrm{-6x+17}[/tex]
Note:
When we multiply a negative number times a negative number, the product is a positive number.
I hope it helps you.
Have a nice day.
