pls help:(​

Answer 1

Explanation:

let's try a:

-4*4x-4*(-17) - expand the distributing terms

-16x-4*(-17) - simplify

-16x-(-68) - simplify again

-16x+68 - remove parentheses

-16x+68 does not equal to 16x-68

lets try b:

-28x+3... dont know what u mean

lets try c:

13-34 first

-21

lets try d:

0-17

-17

lets try e:

-2x+(8-8)

-2x

fortunally dont know what you mean.
