2 * (2a + b) + 8 = 4a + 2b + 8
------------------------------------------
A. =
B. =
C. ≠ 4* (a + b + 2) = 4a + 4b + 8
D. =
An absolute value means something distance from 0, so |8| = 8 because the distance of 8 from 0 is 8. However the |-8| still equals 8 because the distance from -8 to 0 is 8
So with that in mind, we know that |-4| is 4 because the distance -4 is from 0 is 4
So we have 4*4 = 16
So, the questions is 6^(-6) * 6^(-1).
Remember, whenever we are multiplying two numbers with the same base and with different exponents, we should always add the exponents and keeps the same base.
In this ,case it is, -6 and -1.
-6 + (-1) = -7
So the answer would be 6^(-7).
