Solve the Expression: Finding the Equivalent Value of 14-6

Which expression is equivalent to the given equation?

$14-6=$

To solve the given problem, we must find which expression is equivalent to $14 - 6$.

• Step 1: Perform the subtraction $14 - 6$.

• Step 2: Calculate the result: $\begin{aligned} 14 - 6 &= 8 \end{aligned}$

• Step 3: Examine the answer choices to find an expression that is equivalent to $8$.

• Step 4: Evaluate each choice:

  • Choice 1: $14 - 4 - 2$

  • $-$ Break it down: $\begin{aligned} 14 - 4 &= 10 \\ 10 - 2 &= 8 \end{aligned}$ This calculation results in $8$, which matches $14 - 6$.

  • Choices 2, 3, 4 do not yield 8, as calculated similarly.

Therefore, the expression $14 - 4 - 2$ is equivalent to the given equation $14 - 6$.
