Question

Ju Chan solved the previous question by finding the expression 4(-15). Which addition problem would give the same result? Choose all that apply. A . 15 + 15 + 15 + 15
A . 15 + 15 + 15 +15 B . 4 + 4 + 4 + 4
C . (–1)(15 + 15 + 15 + 15)
D . (–15) + (–15) + (–15) + (–15)

Answer 1

Answer:

C. (-1)(15+15+15+15)

D. (-15)+(-15)+(-15)+(-15)

Step-by-step explanation:

The original expression: 4(-15)=-60

Let's try choice A: 15+15+15+15=60(not a negative number, so does not work)

Let's try choice B: 4+4+4+4=16(nowhere near -60)no

Let's try choice C: (-1)(15+15+15+15)=(-1)(60)=-60--yes

Let's try choice D: (-15)+(-15)+(-15)+(-15)=-60--yes

Only choices C and D work.
