Answer 1

The expression \( 6 - m \) can be rewritten to determine its equivalence with the given options.

1. \( m - 6 \) is not equivalent to \( 6 - m \).
2. \( -m - 6 \) is not equivalent to \( 6 - m \).
3. \( -m + 6 \) is equivalent to \( 6 - m \) because if we factor out a negative sign, \( 6 - m = -m + 6 \).
4. \( m + 6 \) is not equivalent to \( 6 - m \).

Therefore, the correct equivalent expression is:

−m + 6 (negative m plus 6).
