Since you didn't provide expression to see which one is equivalent,, I will simply solve the expression you provided. If you need help finding out which expression option is equivalent after I solve this for you,, let me know and I would be more than happy to help you figure it out.
The first step for solving this expression is to calculate the difference between 20 and 21. We can start solving this by keeping the sign of the number with the larger absolute value and subtract the smaller absolute value from it. This will look like the following:
-(21 - 20)
Now subtract the numbers and add it back into the expression.
-1 + 8y - 9y
Next we need to collect the like terms with a y variable by subtracting their coefficients.
(8 - 9)y
Calculate the difference in the parenthesis.
-1y
Remember that when the term has a coefficient of -1,, the number doesn't have to be written but the sign must remain.
-y
Lastly,, add this back into the expression to get your final answer.
-1 - y
Let me know if you have any further questions.

Since there are no multiples other than 1 and -1 that could multiply in any way to equal 1, those are the only numbers you can really work with
it is a possibility that a, b, and c could equal 1 but then it would go wrong when comes time to subtract since all numbers are equal and cannot subtract largest from smallest.
a logical approach would be to try -1, -1, and 1 since -1 * -1 = 1 and then 1* 1 =1
we can make a= -1 , b= -1, and c= 1
(we need b to equal -1 so that we get an answer of -1 opposed to if we made a=-1 and c=-1, all outcomes would equal 1)
-1²=1
-1³=-1
1⁴= 1
since 1 is the largest possible outcome and -1 is the lowest possible outcome you should subtract the two
1-(-1) = 1+1 = 2
The answer should be D: 2
hoped this helped at all!

Answer:
Age of Mel is 25 years.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that,the sum of Ali and Mel's age is 39. If Mel is 3 years younger than twice Ali's age.
Let 'x' be the Ali's age and 'y' be the Mel's age
<u>To find the value of x and y</u>
sum of Ali and Mel's age is 39
⇒ x + y = 39 ------(1)
Mel is 3 years younger than twice Ali's age
⇒ y = 2x - 3 -------(2)
⇒ 2x - y = 3 -----(3)
(1) + (3) ⇒
x + y = 39
2x - y = 3
----------------
3x = 42
x = 42/3 = 14
y = 2x - 3 = 14*2 - 3 = 25
Therefore the age of Ali = 14
Age of Mel = 25
