Answer:
The 2 expressions are:
1) −2.6x−(−5.9x) = −2.6x + 5.9x
2) −2.6x+(−5.9x) = −2.6x - 5.9x
Options:
−2.6x−5.9x -> equivalent to 2nd expression
5.9x+(−2.6x) = −2.6x) + 5.9x -> equivalent to 1st expression
5.9x−(−2.6x) = 5.9x + 2.6x = 2.6x + 5.9x -> equivalent to neither expression
−5.9x+(−2.6x) = −5.9x − 2.6x = − 2.6x − 5.9x -> equivalent to 2nd expression
−2.6x+5.9x -> equivalent to 1st expression
−5.9x+2.6x = 2.6x − 5.9x -> equivalent to neither expression
