Q. Which expression is equivalent to 2−10 ?−2+(−10)2+(−10)2−(−10)−10−2
Understand Operation: Understand the operation between 2 and 10. The operation is subtraction, so we are looking for an expression that represents taking 10 away from 2.
Evaluate Expression: Evaluate the expression 2−10.Subtracting 10 from 2 gives us −8.2−10=−8
Compare with Choices: Compare the result with the given choices.We need to find an expression that is equivalent to −8.−2+(−10)=−2−10=−12 (This is not equivalent to −8.)2+(−10)=2−10=−8 (This is equivalent to −8.)2−(−10)=2+10=12 (This is not equivalent to −8.)−10−2=−10−2=−12 (This is not equivalent to −8.)
