Question

1/8(16m−8)−17 simplified

Answer 1

Answer:

The simplified form of the provided expression is $2m-18$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided expression.

$\frac{1}{8}(16m-8)-17$

Now, use the distributive property: $a(b+c)=ab+ac$

$(\frac{1}{8}\times 16m-\frac{1}{8}\times 8)-17$

$2m-1-17$

Subtract the like terms.

$2m-1-17$

$2m-18$

Hence, the simplified form of the provided expression is $2m-18$.

Answer 2

1/8(16m−8)−17

(1/8)*(16m) -  (1/8)*8  - 17

16m/8  -  8/8 - 17

2m - 1 - 17

2m - 18

Hope this explains it.
