Q. Which of the following are true statements about the expression −9+9 ?Choose 2 answers:A The expression describes the number that is 9 to the left of −9 on the number line.B The expression describes the number that is 9 to the right of −9 on the number line.C The expression equals −18 .D The expression equals 0 .
Evaluate Expression: Evaluate the expression -9+9").\(\newlineTo find out what the expression equals, we simply add \$-9\) and \(9\) together.\(\newline\)\(-9 + 9 = 0\)
Truth of Statement A: Determine the truth of statement A.\(\newline\)Statement A says that the expression describes the number that is \(9\) to the left of \(-9\) on the number line. Since adding \(9\) to \(-9\) brings us back to \(0\), which is to the right of \(-9\) on the number line, statement A is false.
Truth of Statement B: Determine the truth of statement B. Statement B says that the expression describes the number that is \(9\) to the right of \(-9\) on the number line. Since adding \(9\) to \(-9\) results in \(0\), which is indeed \(9\) units to the right of \(-9\) on the number line, statement B is true.
Truth of Statement C: Determine the truth of statement C. Statement C says that the expression equals \(-18\). Since we have already calculated the expression \(-9+9\) to equal \(0\), statement C is false.
Truth of Statement D: Determine the truth of statement D. Statement D says that the expression equals \(0\). As we have calculated in Step \(1\), \(-9+9\) does indeed equal \(0\), so statement D is true.
