12(9−1)+1
so a, b, c or d?
The equivalent expression to 12(9−70)+(−29)0 is 12(9−0)+0. So the correct answer is (12(9−0)+0).
The equivalent expression to 12(9−70)+(−29)0 is 12(9−0)+0, which is option c. So the answer is c) 12(9−0)+0.
To find the equivalent expression, we need to simplify the given expression.
12(9−70)+(−29)0
We start by simplifying the parentheses:
9−70 = -61
Next, we simplify the multiplication:
12 * -61 = -732
Then, we move on to the addition:
-732 + (−29)0
Since any number multiplied by 0 is equal to 0, we can simplify this expression further:
-732 + 0 = -732
Therefore, the equivalent expression is -732.
So, the correct answer would be none of the given options (a, b, c, or d).
