Question

Which of the expressions are equivalent to the one below? Check all that apply. (4•1) - 6

Answer 1

Recall, for multiplication,

a * b = b * a

This means that 4 * 1 = 1 * 4

Since the term outside the parentheses is being subtracted from the product of the terms in the parentheses, the equivalent expression would be

D) (1 * 4) - 6
