Answer: [D] 2(36-12)
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we will simplify the given expression.
38 – 14 = 24
Now, we will see if the other expressions are equivalent or not.
[A] 2(19-7) = 24
[B] 24 = 24
[C] (19-7)2 = 24
[D] 2(36-12) = 48
The expression is NOT equivalent to the expression 38 – 14 is;
[D] 2(36-12)
Hi :)
Let's evaluate all these expressions
[tex]\boldsymbol{\boxed{38-14=24}}}[/tex]
So Now the question boils down to --
What expression is NOT equivalent to [tex]\boldsymbol{24?}[/tex]
[tex]\boldsymbol{2(19-7)}[/tex]
[tex]\boldsymbol{2(12)}[/tex]
[tex]\boldsymbol{24}[/tex]
Option (A) is ruled out, because we're looking for expressions that are not equivalent to 24.
Well 24 is always equal to 24!
[tex]\boldsymbol{(19-7)2}[/tex]
[tex]\boldsymbol{(12)2}[/tex]
[tex]\boldsymbol{24}[/tex]
[tex]\boldsymbol{2(36-12)}[/tex]
[tex]\boldsymbol{2(24)}[/tex]
[tex]\boldsymbol{48}[/tex]
