Given:
The expression is
[tex]16.8-18.6[/tex]
To find:
The expression which is equivalent to the given expression.
Solution:
We have,
[tex]16.8-18.6=-1.8[/tex]
In option A,
[tex]16.8-(-18.6)=16.8+18.6[/tex]
[tex]=35.4\neq -1.8[/tex]
In option B,
[tex]-18.6+(-16.8)=-18.6-16.8[/tex]
[tex]=-35.4\neq -1.8[/tex]
In option C,
[tex]18.6-16.8=1.8\neq -1.8[/tex]
In option D,
[tex]16.8+(-18.6)=16.8-18.6=-1.8[/tex]
Only the value of the expression in option D is equal to the value of given expression.
Therefore, correct option is D.
