Answer:
[tex]b.)31\neq -22[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify each equation using PEMDAS:
Parentheses (x)
Exponents x²
Multiplication and Division, left to right × ÷
Addition and Subtraction, left to right - +
It is also important to follow PEMDAS when working within grouping symbols like parentheses.
Also, remember that two negatives make a positive, and when a negative and positive are multiplied, the result is always negative.
[tex](-2)(8+6+-3)\\\\-2*(8+6-3)\\\\-2*(14-3)\\\\-2*11\\\\-22[/tex]
Find which answer is not equal to -22.
a.) [tex](-2)(8+6)+(-2)(-3)\\\\-2*(8+6)-2*-3\\\\-2*14-2*-3\\\\-28-2*-3\\\\-28+6\\\\-22[/tex]
---------------------------------------------------
b.) [tex](-2)*(8+6)+(-3)\\\\-2*(8+6)-3\\\\-2*14-3\\\\-28-3\\\\-31[/tex]
---------------------------------------------------
c.) [tex](-2)(8)+(-2)(6)+(-2)(-3)\\\\-2*8-2*6-2*-3\\\\-16-2*6-2*-3\\\\-16-12-2*-3\\\\-16-12+6\\\\-28+6\\\\-22[/tex]
---------------------------------------------------
d.) [tex](-2)(8)+(-2)(6+-3)\\\\-2*8-2*(6-3)\\\\-2*8-2*3\\\\-16-2*3\\\\-16-6\\\\-22[/tex]
---------------------------------------------------
Option b is not equal to -22.
