4 + (14 - 2) = 4 + 14 - 2

A. 4 - (-14 - 2) = 4 + 14 + 2 ------------------------WRONG

B. (4 - 14 ) - 2 = 4 - 14 - 2 --------------------------WRONG

C. 4 - (-14) - (2) = 4 + 14 - 2 ------------------------RIGHT

D. 4 + 14 + (-2) = 4 + 14 - 2 ------------------------RIGHT

E. - (-4 - 14) - 2 = 4 + 14 - 2 ------------------------RIGHT

Answer: C, D and E.

Answer 2

4 + (14 - 12) = 4 + (12) = 16

A. 4 - (-14 - 2) = 4 - (-16) = 20. Not equivalent.

B. (4 - 14) - 2 = (-10) - 2 = -12. Not equivalent.

C. 4 - (-14) - (2) = 18 - 2 = 16. Equivalent.

D. 4 + 14 + (-2) = 18 + (-2) = 16. Equivalent.

E. - (-4 - 14) - 2 = - (-18) - 2 = 18 - 2 = 16. Equivalent.

Choices C, D, and E are all equivalent to the expression 4 + (14 - 2).
