which expression is equivalent to 4

Question

A) 12-(-8)
B)-10-(-6)
7+(-11)
-13-(-17)

Answer 1

Let's evaluate each expression to see which one is equivalent to 4:

A) \( 12 - (-8) = 12 + 8 = 20 \)

B) \( -10 - (-6) = -10 + 6 = -4 \)

C) \( 7 + (-11) = 7 - 11 = -4 \)

D) \( -13 - (-17) = -13 + 17 = 4 \)

The equivalent expression to 4 is D) -13 - (-17).
