Q. Which expression has the same value as −9−3 ?3−(−9)−9−(−3)−3+9−9+(−3)
Evaluate given expression: Evaluate the given expression.Calculate the value of the given expression \(-9 - 3").\(-9 - 3 = −12")
Calculate value: Evaluate the first alternative expression.Calculate the value of the alternative expression 3−(−9).3−(−9)=3+9=12Check if this value is equal to the value from Step 1.12 is not equal to −12.
Evaluate first alternative: Evaluate the second alternative expression.Calculate the value of the alternative expression −9−(−3).−9−(−3)=−9+3=−6Check if this value is equal to the value from Step 1.−6 is not equal to −12.
Calculate alternative value: Evaluate the third alternative expression.Calculate the value of the alternative expression -3 + 9").\(\newline\$-3 + 9 = 6")\(\newline\)Check if this value is equal to the value from Step 1.\(\newline\)\$6\) is not equal to \(-12\).
Evaluate second alternative: Evaluate the fourth alternative expression.\(\newline\)Calculate the value of the alternative expression \(-9 + (-3)\).\(\newline\)\(-9 + (-3) = -9 - 3 = -12\)\(\newline\)Check if this value is equal to the value from Step \(1\).\(\newline\)\(-12\) is equal to \(-12\).
