Q. Which of the following expressions is equivalent to 2412k+84 \frac{24}{-12 k+84} ?\newlineChoose 11 answer:\newline(A) 2k+7 \frac{2}{k+7} \newline(B) 2k+7 \frac{2}{-k+7} \newline(C) 2k+84 \frac{2}{-k+84} \newline(D) 212k+7 \frac{2}{-12 k+7}
  1. Simplify Numerator and Denominator: Simplify the numerator and denominator separately. \newline24÷12=224 \div -12 = -2 and 84÷12=784 \div -12 = -7.\newlineSo, 2412k+84\frac{24}{-12 k+84} becomes 2k7\frac{-2}{k-7}.
  2. Distribute Negative Sign: Notice that there's a negative sign in the numerator, which can be distributed to the denominator.\newlineSo, (2)/(k7)(-2)/(k-7) becomes (2)/(k+7)(2)/(-k+7).
  3. Match with Options: Now, let's match our simplified expression with the given options.\newlineThe expression (2)/(k+7)(2)/(-k+7) matches with option (B).
