Which of the following is an equivalent expression to 12(9−70)+(−29)0? (1 point)

Answer 1

To determine an equivalent expression to \( 12(9 - 70) + (-29)0 \), we need to simplify it step by step.

1. Calculate the expression inside the parentheses: \[ 9 - 70 = -61 \]

2. Now replace that in the expression: \[ 12(-61) + (-29)0 \]

3. Calculate \( 12 \times -61 \): \[ 12 \times -61 = -732 \]

4. Next, recognize that any number multiplied by zero equals zero: \[ (-29)0 = 0 \]

5. Now we add the values: \[ -732 + 0 = -732 \]

Thus, the expression \( 12(9 - 70) + (-29)0 \) simplifies to \( -732 \).

The equivalent expression is \( -732 \).
