Q. Simplify to create an equivalent expression.19−6(−k+4)Choose 1 answer:(A) 6k−5(B) −6k−5(C) 6k+9(D) 6k+5
Distribute the −6: Distribute the −6 across the parentheses.To simplify the expression, we need to distribute the −6 to both terms inside the parentheses (−k+4).Calculation: 19−6(−k)−6(4)Math error check:
Multiply ext{-}6 by each term: Multiply ext{-}6 by each term inside the parentheses.Now we perform the multiplication: ext{-}6 times ext{-}k gives us 6k, and ext{-}6 times 4 gives us ext{-}24.Calculation: 19+6k−24Math error check:
Combine the constant terms: Combine the constant terms.We have two constant terms, 19 and −24, which we can combine by subtraction.Calculation: 6k+(19−24)Math error check:
Simplify the constant terms: Simplify the constant terms.Subtracting 24 from 19 gives us −5.Calculation: 6k−5Math error check:
