Question

Integers Multiple Choice Read the word problem and circle the corresponding expression. 1. Jaimie withdrew $25 from his TFSA (Tax-Free Savings Account), 4 times. Which expression shows the change in his savings account?

a) (-25)(4)

b) (-25)(-4)

c) −25 4

d) 25 4 2.

Answer 1

a) (-25)(4)

Explanation:

To evaluate an algebraic expression means to find the value of the expression when the variable is replaced by a given number. To evaluate an expression, we substitute the given number for the variable in the expression and then simplify the expression using the order of operations. In this case,

withdrew means no longer there which means subtracted.

Then, times mean multiply.

Therefore, -minus twenty-five times (x) four

combine them and it equals (-25)(4)
