Question

Simplify the following expression. (3m/4-2)+8 A. 8m/4 B. 9m/4 C. 3m+24/4 D. 3m+28/4

Answer 1

Answer: C

Step-by-step explanation:

(3m/4 - 2) + 8
= (3m/4 - 8/4) + 8
= (3m - 8)/4 + 32/4
= (3m - 8 + 32)/4
= (3m + 24)/4

Therefore the answer is C

Answer 2

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(
`(3m)/(4)` - 2 ) + 8 ( remove parenthesis )

=
`(3m)/(4)` - 2 + 8

=
`(3m)/(4)` + 6

=
`(3m)/(4)` +
`(24)/(4)` ← add the numerators leaving the denominator

=
`(3m+24)/(4)` → C
