Question

Select the expressions that are equivalent to -8v - 5v. V.-13 = 137 5V + 8y -9v + V - 5v Submit

Answer 1

-8v-5v

An equivalent expression has the same value:

If we add both terms:

-13v (equivalent)

v*-13 = -13v (equivalent)

If we switch places, the value is the same, and adding a negative number is the same as subtracting that number:

-5v+- 8v (equivalent)

-9v+v-5v (equivalent)

Add -9v+v=-8v

-8v-5v (equivalent)

All options are equivalent
