Question

Which expression is equivalent to 3w-4-w-93w−4−w−9?

A 2w-13
b 4w - 13
c 2w + 5
d -w - 13

Answer 1

Answer: A

Explanation:

To simplify 3w-4-w-9, we need to combine the like terms (terms that have the same variable and exponent).

3w - w = 2w

-4 - (-9) = -4 + 9 = 5

So,

3w - 4 - w - 9 = 2w - 13

Therefore, the expression 3w-4-w-9 is equivalent to 2w-13, which is option A.
