Q. What happens to the value of the expression 35+k as k decreases?Choose 1 answer:(A) It increases.(B) It decreases.(C) It stays the same.
Expression and Relationship: The expression given is 35+k. To understand what happens to the value of this expression as k decreases, we need to consider the relationship between k and the overall value of the expression.
Decreasing k and Overall Value: If k decreases, then we are subtracting a smaller number from 35. Since k is being added to 35, any decrease in k will result in a decrease in the overall value of the expression 35+k.
Example: Decreasing k: For example, if k decreases from 5 to 3, the expression would change from 35+5=40 to 35+3=38, which shows a decrease in the value of the expression.
Conclusion: Decreasing Value: Therefore, as k decreases, the value of the expression 35+k also decreases. This corresponds to option (B) It decreases.
