Question

Which expression is equivalent to the given expression?

17x – 32x

A.
17(x – 32)

B.
17x(1 – 32)

C.
x(32 – 17)

D.
x(17 – 32)

Answer 1

I think B

Answer 2

D.

Answer 3

No not B, that would simplify to
17x- 544

It would be D, because by distributing x it wouldn't change the value
x(17-32)
17x-32x

Answer 4

@Owls Can't be because:
17x(1 – 32)
17x*1 -17*32
17x -544

Answer 5

ok thanks...

Answer 6

When you distribute you are simply multiplying 1(7+4) to both terms :)
