This is due tomorrow i really need so confused

Hi

A
14 - 9 and 14 + (-9)
14 - 9 and 14 - 9
Answer : Yes,

B
18 - 6 and -18 + 6
Answer : No
The reason is because 18 - 6 = 12. However, -18 + 6 = -12
So no, 12 and -12 are not equivalent.

C
-7 - 22 and 22 - (-7)
-7 - 22 and 22 + 7
Answer : No
The reason is because -7 - 22 = -29. However, 22+7 = 29
So, -29 and 29 are not equivalent.
Remember : When you have 2 negative numbers, you add them and you keep the negative sign.

D
3 - 30 and 3 + (-30)
3 - 30 and 3 - 30
Answer : Yes

E
10 - 5 and -5 - 10
Answer : No
Because 10 - 5 = 5 and -5 - 10 = -15
So, No they aren't equivalent

F
-23 - 4 and -23 + (-4)
-23 - 4 and -23 - 4
Answer : Yes

I hope that's help you, Becca !

Here are some advice :)
1 - Remember that equivalent means equal. Something that is equal to something else means they have the same values. So when they asked you if they are equivalent, all you have to do next time is calculate them and they have the same values say yes and if not say no :)
