Sagot :

Answer:

OA) 14

Step-by-step explanation:

2((7+1)-1)

2(8-1)

You could expand the brackets then simplify or just simplify now. It will be better to simplify now though but I will do both methods.

Simplifying first:

2(7) = 2 × 7 = 14

Our answer is 14 So answer is OA) 14

Expanding first then simplifying:

2(8-1) = 16-2 = 14

Our answer is 14 So answer is OA) 14

Answer:

14

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute the values into the equation.

2((a +b) - b)

2((7 + 1) -1)

You can use Distribute first or Solve the parenthesis first it will still give the same answer.

Distributive method.

2((7 + 2) -2)

=((14 + 2) -2)

= 16 -2

=14

Or solve the parenthesis first.

2((7 + 1) -1)

=2(8 -1)

=2(7)

=14
