Here's how to solve question 9:

  1. Evaluate the given expressions.

    • For expression a): 73−14+1=59+1=6073 - 14 + 1 = 59 + 1 = 60
    • For expression b): 73−14−1=59−1=5873 - 14 - 1 = 59 - 1 = 58
  2. Evaluate each of the options.

    • For option (a) 73−(14+1)73 - (14 + 1): 73−(15)=5873 - (15) = 58
    • For option (b) 73−(14−1)73 - (14 - 1): 73−(13)=6073 - (13) = 60
    • For option (c) 73+(−14+1)73 + (-14 + 1): 73+(−13)=73−13=6073 + (-13) = 73 - 13 = 60
    • For option (d) 73+(−14−1)73 + (-14 - 1): 73+(−15)=73−15=5873 + (-15) = 73 - 15 = 58
  3. Identify the expressions that are equal.

    • Expression a) 73−14+1=6073 - 14 + 1 = 60. This is equal to options (b) and (c).
    • Expression b) 73−14−1=5873 - 14 - 1 = 58. This is equal to options (a) and (d).

    The expressions are:

    • For 73−14+173 - 14 + 1: Options (b) 73−(14−1) and (c) 73+(−14+1)\boxed{\text{Options (b) } 73 - (14 - 1) \text{ and (c) } 73 + (-14 + 1)}
    • For 73−14−173 - 14 - 1: Options (a) 73−(14+1) and (d) 73+(−14−1)\boxed{\text{Options (a) } 73 - (14 + 1) \text{ and (d) } 73 + (-14 - 1)}
