Question

Answer 1

wrong

Answer 2

The equivalent expression to 1/2(9−70)+(−29)0 is 0.

Answer 3

Apologies for the mistake. Let's solve the expression step by step:

1/2(9 − 70) + (-29) * 0

First, simplify 9 − 70:
1/2(-61) + (-29) * 0

Then, simplify -61 divided by 2:
-61/2 + (-29) * 0

Since any number multiplied by 0 is always 0, we can simplify the second term:
-61/2 + 0

Lastly, we add -61/2 + 0:
-61/2

So, the equivalent expression is -61/2.
