Q. Which expression has the same value as −2−7 ?7−(−2)−2−(−7)−2+(−7)2+(−7)
Evaluate Expression: Evaluate the given expression.Calculate the value of the expression -2-7").\(\newline\$-2 - 7 = -9\)
Calculate Value: Evaluate the first alternative expression.\(\newline\)Calculate the value of the expression \(7-(-2)\).\(\newline\)\(7 - (-2) = 7 + 2 = 9\)\(\newline\)Check if this value is equal to the value from Step \(1\).\(\newline\)\(9\) is not equal to \(-9\).
Evaluate First Alternative: Evaluate the second alternative expression.\(\newline\)Calculate the value of the expression \(-2-(-7)\).\(\newline\)\(-2 - (-7) = -2 + 7 = 5\)\(\newline\)Check if this value is equal to the value from Step \(1\).\(\newline\)\(5\) is not equal to \(-9\).
Calculate Value: Evaluate the third alternative expression.\(\newline\)Calculate the value of the expression \(-2+(-7)\).\(\newline\)\(-2 + (-7) = -2 - 7 = -9\)\(\newline\)Check if this value is equal to the value from Step \(1\).\(\newline\)\(-9\) is equal to \(-9\).
Evaluate Second Alternative: Evaluate the fourth alternative expression.\(\newline\)Calculate the value of the expression \(2+(-7)\).\(\newline\)\(2 + (-7) = 2 - 7 = -5\)\(\newline\)Check if this value is equal to the value from Step \(1\).\(\newline\)\(-5\) is not equal to \(-9\).
