Question: 264
8. If (x + 4) + y = 0, then x + y =
- A. –4
- B.
- C. 0
- D.
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
The answer is A
Because the only operations are addition, the parentheses can be removed: x + y + 4 = 0. As the question asks for x + y, rather than x alone or y alone, isolate x + y by subtracting 4 from both sides: x + y = -4.
