Question

Which expression is equivalent to 8 - (6r + 2)? A. -6r + 6 B. 2r + 2 C. 6r + 10 D. -6r + 10

Answer 1

A. -6r+6

Explanation:

We are given the expression:

8-(6r+2)

First, let's distribute the negative sign. Multiply each term inside the parentheses by -1.

8+ (-1*6r) + (-1*2)

8-6r-2

Now, combine like terms. Add the constants, or terms without a variable.

-6r + (8+-2)

-6r + (8-2)

-6r + (6)

-6r+6

The answer is A. -6r+6

Answer 2

6 -6r

Explanation:

8 - (6r + 2)
