    Positive
In summary, negating a statement means expressing the opposite meaning or truth value of the original statement. This can be done by adding the word "not" or using other words or phrases. To reexpress a statement as an equivalent positive statement, the negation can be removed or replaced with similar words. Being able to negate and reexpress statements is important for understanding and analyzing information, logical reasoning, problem-solving, and clear communication. A statement can be negated multiple times, but this can lead to confusion. There are no strict rules, but some guidelines include negating each part separately and using simple language to avoid confusion.

The first part of your solution appears correct however you still need to negate that which is in the parantheses. It may help to write out the logical operators in words to give you a better picture of the question. I came up with a solution, but I will wait to post till you give the rest of your problem a shot.
