Answer 1

Answer:

B and C

Step-by-step explanation:

All you need to do is find the answer for all of them and see which ones match

Original:

6 + (-4) - 5

6 - 4 - 5

2 - 5

-3

This is the answer for the original expression, now we need to see which one is the correct match....

A. -(-6 + 4 ) - 5

2 negatives being subtracted gives you a positive

6 + 4 - 5

10 - 5

5

Incorrect, so now we know its not A

B. 6 - 4 - ( -5)

Again 2 negatives give you a positive

6 - 4 + (5)

6 - 9

-3

Correct, so now we know its B

C. 6 - (4 + 5)

PEMDAS so do the parenthesis first

6 - 9

-3

Correct, so now we it's C.

D. 6 + 4 - 56

10 - 56

-46

Incorrect, so now we know its not D

E. -(-6) + (-4) - (-5)

Again, 2 negatives equal a positive

6 - 4 + 5

2 + 5

7

Incorrect so now we know its not E

The correct answer is C
