Which pair of expressions has the same value?
A (2)(-8) and 2 - 18
B (-2)(8) and 18 + (-2)
C 2(8) and 2 + 18
D (-2)(-8) and 2 + (-18)
I think the answer is A.
Thank you to whoever can help! <3
Ah, I think I may have made a mistake. Let's start from A again.
A = 2 -8 = -16 and 2 - 18 = -16.
B = -2 8 = -16 and 18 + -2 = 16.
C = 2 8 = 16 and 2 + 18 = 20.
D = -2 -8 = 16 and 2 + -18 = -16.
A is the correct answer. My bad.
JO JO IS WHRONG
2 -8 = -6 and 2 - 18 = -16. So A is not right. Work out each problem and then when you think you've found the answer, let me know.
It isn't B because (-2)(8) is -16 and 18 + (-2) is 16.
It isn't C because 2(8) is 16 and 2 + 18 is 20.
So the answer is D?
