Q. Which expression has the same value as 6x−4y ?−4y+(−6x)4y−6x6x−(−4y)6x+(−4y)
Compare with first choice: Compare the given expression with the first choice.The given expression is 6x−4y. The first choice is −4y+(−6x).We need to check if the order of the terms affects the value of the expression.−4y+(−6x) is the same as −4y−6x, which is not the same as 6x−4y because the order of the terms and their signs are different.
Compare with second choice: Compare the given expression with the second choice.The second choice is 4y−6x.This is not the same as 6x−4y because the terms and their coefficients are reversed and the signs are different.
Compare with third choice: Compare the given expression with the third choice.The third choice is 6x−(−4y).This simplifies to 6x+4y, which is not the same as 6x−4y because the sign in front of 4y is different.
Compare with fourth choice: Compare the given expression with the fourth choice.The fourth choice is 6x+(−4y).This simplifies to 6x−4y, which is exactly the same as the given expression.Therefore, 6x+(−4y) has the same value as 6x−4y.
