Question

Which expression is equivalent to 2(m − 4) + 1?

2m − 7

2m − 3

2m + 9

2m + 10

Answer 1

The expression 2(m − 4) + 1 is equivalent to 2m - 7 .

Explanation:

As the expression given in the question is as follows

= 2(m − 4) + 1

Now first open the bracket of the above experession

= 2m - 8 + 1

Simplify the above

= 2m - 7

Therefore the expression 2(m − 4) + 1 is equivalent to 2m - 7 .

Answer 2

2(m - 4) + 1 = 2m - 8 + 1 = 2m - 7
