Question

Which expression is equivalent to 1/2 r 8p –3/4 r – 2p?

1) 1/2 r 8p –3/4 r – 2p
2) 1/2 r 8p + 3/4 r + 2p
3) 1/2 r 8p + 3/4 r – 2p
4) 1/2 r 8p –3/4 r + 2p

Answer 1

The expression that is equivalent to 1/2 r 8p - 3/4 r - 2p is option 4) 1/2 r 8p - 3/4 r + 2p.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression that is equivalent to 1/2 r 8p - 3/4 r - 2p is option 4) 1/2 r 8p - 3/4 r + 2p.

To simplify the expression, we can combine the like terms. The terms '8p' and '-2p' can be added together to give '6p'. Therefore, the simplified expression is 1/2 r 6p - 3/4 r, which is equivalent to option 4.
