Q. Which expression has the same value as 1−2 ?−2+1−2+(−1)−1+(−2)1−(−2)
Find Equivalent Expression: We need to find the expression that is equivalent to 1−2. Calculate 1−2. 1−2=−1
Calculate 1−2: Compare the result with the first option: −2+1.Calculate −2+1.−2+1=−1Check if it matches the result from the first step.−1=−1, so this expression is equivalent.
Compare with −2+1: Compare the result with the second option: −2+(−1).Calculate −2+(−1).−2+(−1)=−3Check if it matches the result from the first step.−3=−1, so this expression is not equivalent.
Calculate −2+1: Compare the result with the third option: −1+(−2).Calculate −1+(−2).−1+(−2)=−3Check if it matches the result from the first step.−3=−1, so this expression is not equivalent.
Check for Equivalence: Compare the result with the fourth option: 1−(−2).Calculate 1−(−2).1−(−2)=1+2=3Check if it matches the result from the first step.3=−1, so this expression is not equivalent.
