Q. Which expression is equivalent to 12(8)? \frac{1}{2}-(-8) ? \newlineChoose 11 answer:\newline(A) 12+8 \frac{1}{2}+8 \newline(B) 12+8 -\frac{1}{2}+8 \newline(C) 128 -\frac{1}{2}-8 \newline(D) 8+12 -8+\frac{1}{2}
  1. Understand Operation: Understand the operation to be performed. We need to subtract 8-8 from 12\frac{1}{2}. In mathematical terms, subtracting a negative number is the same as adding its positive counterpart.
  2. Perform Subtraction: Perform the subtraction by adding the opposite of 8-8.\newline(1/2)(8)=(1/2)+8(1/2) - (-8) = (1/2) + 8
  3. Check Answer Choices: Check the answer choices to find the equivalent expression.\newlineThe equivalent expression to (12)+8(\frac{1}{2}) + 8 is given in option (A).
