Question

Drag each expression to show whether it is equivalent to −2.6x−(−5.9x), −2.6x+(−5.9x), or neither. −2.6x−5.9x 5.9x+(−2.6x) 5.9x−(−2.6x) −5.9x+(−2.6x) −2.6x+5.9x −5.9x+2.6x −2.6x−(−5.9x) −2.6x+(−5.9x) Neither

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-2.6x-(-5.9x)=-2.6x+5.9x=3.3x

Answer 2

Answer:

The 2 expressions are:

1) −2.6x−(−5.9x) = −2.6x + 5.9x

2) −2.6x+(−5.9x) = −2.6x - 5.9x

Options:

−2.6x−5.9x  -> equivalent to 2nd expression

5.9x+(−2.6x)  = −2.6x) + 5.9x -> equivalent to 1st expression

5.9x−(−2.6x)  = 5.9x + 2.6x = 2.6x + 5.9x ->  equivalent to neither expression

−5.9x+(−2.6x)  = −5.9x − 2.6x =  − 2.6x − 5.9x -> equivalent to 2nd expression

−2.6x+5.9x  -> equivalent to 1st expression

−5.9x+2.6x = 2.6x − 5.9x ->  equivalent to neither expression
