Question

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS QUESTION!!!!!

Which expressions are equivalent to -7+3(-4e-3)?


Choose all answers that apply:


(Choice A)


-4(3e+4)


(Choice B)


12e


(Choice C)


None of the above

Answer 1

(Choice A)

-4(3e + 4)

Explanation:

This is the only answer that makes sense:

-7 - 12e - 9 [Distribute the 3 amongst all the other terms in parentheses]

Then you combine like-terms:

-16 - 12e

Finally, you factor out the Greatest Common Factor [GCF]:

-4[4 + 3e]

12e is NOT an option, so you are left with (Choice A).

I am joyous to assist you anytime.
