d. -11 (2m - 3 - 4m)
Nope, one is right, and one is wrong. Look carefully.
what do you think?
a and c
correct
thanks.
To find the equivalent expression to -22m - 33 - 44m, you need to simplify the expression by combining like terms.
First, combine the -22m and -44m terms. This gives you -66m.
Next, combine the constant terms -33.
So, the simplified expression is -66m - 33.
To identify which of the given options is equivalent to -22m - 33 - 44m, we can compare the simplified expression to each option.
Let's go through each option:
a. 11(-2m -3 - 4m)
When we simplify this option, we get -22m - 33. So, this option is equivalent to the given expression.
b. -11(-2m - 3 - 4m)
Simplifying this option gives us 22m + 33, which is not equivalent to the given expression.
c. -11(2m + 3 + 4m)
Simplifying this option gives us -22m - 33, which is equivalent to the given expression.
d. -11 (2m - 3 - 4m)
Simplifying this option gives us 22m + 33, which is not equivalent to the given expression.
Therefore, the options that are equivalent to -22m - 33 - 44m are options a and c.
