Question

write equivalent expressions. rewrite your addition expression using subtraction. 13 - 8(2x - 6) = 13 + -8(2x + -6) = 13 + (-8 · 2x) + (-8 · -6) = 13 + (-16x) + 48 = 61 + -16x = \square - \square

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the expression \(61 + (-16x)\)

We know that \(a + (-b)=a - b\) by the rule of adding a negative number is equivalent to subtracting the positive of that number. Here \(a = 61\) and \(b=16x\).

Step2: Rewrite using subtraction

Using the rule \(a+(-b)=a - b\), the expression \(61+(-16x)\) can be rewritten as \(61-16x\).

Answer:

\(61\) - \(16x\) (So the first box is \(61\) and the second box is \(16x\))
