Question

Answer 1

Devon

Explanation:

lets use t=1 to compare

1. -5(12t+9)

if t = 1, -5(12+9) = -5(21) = negative number

2. 2(-6t-8)

if t = 1, 2(-6-8) = 2(-14) = negative number

3. -6(-2t+18)

if t = 1, -6(-2+18) = -6(16) = negative number

4. (-4(-3t-2)

if t = 1, -4(-3-2) = -4(-5) = 20 positive number
