Q. Which expression is equivalent to −36−8?Choose 1 answer:(A) 36+8(B) −8+36(C) 8−36(D) −36+(−8)
Find Equivalent Expression: We need to find an expression that is equivalent to the given expression −36−8. The given expression is a subtraction of 8 from −36. Let's perform the subtraction to find the equivalent value. −36−8=−36+(−8)=−44
Perform Subtraction: Now, let's examine the answer choices to see which one is equivalent to −44.(A) 36+8=44 (This is not equivalent because it is positive 44, not negative 44.)(B) −8+36=28 (This is not equivalent because it is positive 28, not negative 44.)(C) 8−36=−28 (This is not equivalent because it is negative 28, not negative 44.)(D) 36+8=440 (This is equivalent to the given expression.)
Examine Answer Choices: The correct answer is the one that matches the value we calculated, which is −44. The only choice that matches this value is (D) −36+(−8).
