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 .
Analyze Expression: Let's analyze the expression −9+9. This expression involves adding 9 to −9.Calculation: −9+9=0
Option A Analysis: Now let's consider option A: The expression describes the number that is 9 to the left of −9 on the number line. If we move 9 units to the left of −9 on the number line, we would actually be at −18, not 0.
Option B Analysis: Next, let's consider option B: The expression describes the number that is 9 to the right of −9 on the number line. If we move 9 units to the right of −9 on the number line, we would indeed be at 0, which is the result of the expression −9+9.
Option C Evaluation: Now let's evaluate option C: The expression equals −18. As we calculated in the first step, −9+9 equals 0, not −18.
Option D Evaluation: Finally, let's evaluate option D: The expression equals 0. This is true, as we have already calculated that −9+9 equals 0.
