What is the result of the division modeled by 46+(−23)+(−23)=46+2(−23)=0 ?(1 point)

Answer 1

The expression you provided, \( 46 + (-23) + (-23) \), can be simplified step by step:

1. Combine the two \( -23 \) terms: \[ 46 + (-23) + (-23) = 46 - 23 - 23 \]

2. Calculate \( 46 - 23 \): \[ 46 - 23 = 23 \]

3. Now subtract \( 23 \) from \( 23 \): \[ 23 - 23 = 0 \]

As a result, the entire expression simplifies to \( 0 \).

You also noted that it can be modeled as \( 46 + 2(-23) \).

Calculating \( 2(-23) \): \[ 2(-23) = -46 \]

So the equation \( 46 + (-46) \) simplifies to: \[ 46 - 46 = 0 \]

Thus, the final result of the division modeled by the entire expression is \( 0 \).

Answer 2

this is wrong

Answer 3

I apologize for any confusion in my previous response. Let’s carefully reevaluate the expression step by step to clarify.

You presented the expression:

\[ 46 + (-23) + (-23) \]

This can be simplified as follows:

1. Combine the terms: \[ 46 + (-23) + (-23) = 46 - 23 - 23 \]

2. Calculate \( 46 - 23 \): \[ 46 - 23 = 23 \]

3. Now subtract \( 23 \): \[ 23 - 23 = 0 \]

Now, looking at the alternative representation:

\[ 46 + 2(-23) \]

Calculating that:

1. Calculate \( 2 \times (-23) \): \[ 2 \times (-23) = -46 \]

2. Then, substitute back: \[ 46 + (-46) = 46 - 46 = 0 \]

Both methods yield:

Final Result: \( 0 \)

If you could specify what aspect you find incorrect, I would be happy to clarify further!
