which of the following is a equivalent expression to 1/2(9−70)+(−29)0?
The equivalent expression to 1/2(9−70)+(−29)0 is 0.
wrong
Apologies for the mistake. Let's solve the expression step by step:
1/2(9 − 70) + (-29) * 0
First, simplify 9 − 70:
1/2(-61) + (-29) * 0
Then, simplify -61 divided by 2:
-61/2 + (-29) * 0
Since any number multiplied by 0 is always 0, we can simplify the second term:
-61/2 + 0
Lastly, we add -61/2 + 0:
-61/2
So, the equivalent expression is -61/2.
To find an equivalent expression for the given expression 1/2(9-70)+(-29)0, we need to simplify it step by step.
Step 1: Simplify the subtraction inside the parentheses:
9 - 70 = -61
Step 2: Perform the multiplication within the parentheses:
(-61) * (1/2) = -61/2
Step 3: Simplify the multiplication by 0:
(-29) * 0 = 0
Step 4: Add the two results together:
-61/2 + 0 = -61/2
Therefore, the equivalent expression to 1/2(9-70)+(-29)0 is -61/2.
