Which expression is equivalent to m, minus, 10, m, plus, 6, mm−10m+6m?
Multiple Choice Answers
1, minus, 4, m1−4m
minus, 3, m−3m
m, minus, 4m−4
minus, 5, m−5m
The correct expression is 1, minus, 4, m1−4m.
The correct answer is: m minus 4m - 4
To find the expression that is equivalent to m - 10m + 6m, you need to combine like terms.
The variables m and m have the same exponent, so you can combine them:
m - 10m + 6m = (1 - 10 + 6)m
Now, simplify the expression inside the parentheses:
1 - 10 + 6 = -3
So the expression simplifies to:
-3m
Therefore, the equivalent expression is "minus, 3, m" which corresponds to option 2.
