Answer 1

To find an expression equivalent to \(10 - 10\), we first calculate \(10 - 10\):

\[
10 - 10 = 0
\]

Now we will evaluate each option to see which one is equivalent to \(0\).

A. \(2(10)\)
\[
2(10) = 20 \quad \text{(not equivalent)}
\]

B. \(10 + (-10)\)
\[
10 + (-10) = 10 - 10 = 0 \quad \text{(equivalent)}
\]

C. \((-2)(10)\)
\[
(-2)(10) = -20 \quad \text{(not equivalent)}
\]

D. \((10)(10)\)
\[
(10)(10) = 100 \quad \text{(not equivalent)}
\]

The only expression that is equivalent to \(10 - 10\) is:

**B. \(10 + (-10)\)**.
