Four expressions are shown below.

Question

Expression A: -1.43+1.75
Expression B: -1.43 -1.75

Expression C: -1.43+(-1.75)
Expression D: -1.43-(-1.75)
Which pairs of expressions have the same value? Select TWO that apply

Answer 1

Let's evaluate each expression:

1. Expression A: \[ -1.43 + 1.75 = 0.32 \]

2. Expression B: \[ -1.43 - 1.75 = -1.43 - 1.75 = -3.18 \]

3. Expression C: \[ -1.43 + (-1.75) = -1.43 - 1.75 = -3.18 \]

4. Expression D: \[ -1.43 - (-1.75) = -1.43 + 1.75 = 0.32 \]

Now we can compare the results:

• Expression A = 0.32
• Expression B = -3.18
• Expression C = -3.18
• Expression D = 0.32

From this analysis, we have:

• Expression A and Expression D have the same value of 0.32.
• Expression B and Expression C have the same value of -3.18.

Thus, the pairs of expressions that have the same value are:

1. Expression A and Expression D
2. Expression B and Expression C

The correct answers are: A and D, B and C.
