Respuesta :

Answer:

(a)[tex]20+(-9)+8+(-7)[/tex]

(b)[tex]4x+(-7y)+(-5z)+6[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are required to write an equivalent expression that uses only addition for each of the given term.

Note that the product of + and - is always -.

Therefore:

(a)20−9+8−7

[tex]20-9+8-7 \\=20+(-9)+8+(-7)[/tex]

(b)4x−7y−5z+6

[tex]4x-7y-5z+6\\=4x+(-7y)+(-5z)+6[/tex]
