Question

WILL MARK BRAINLIEST Which expression is equivalent to −1.3 + (−4.9 ) + (−2.6) ?

Answer 1

You can remove the first plus sign to give:
-1.3 -4.9 [ because + x - = - ]
and by the same rule you can remove the the second plus sign to give
-1.3 -4.9 - 2.6
That means option b is out because it is positive. 
straight away we can see that option D. equals the result, so it is in the running, so now can we eliminate c and a?
we can eliminate a because the  minus ign outside the bracket multiplied by -4.9 inside the bracket produces + 4.9, which is not the answer, so that only leaves c. 
once again, a plus sign outside the bracket does not produce -4.9 when muliplied by  4.9 inside the bracket inside option c, so we can eliminate option c.
