Which expression is not equivalent to the other three?

Explanation:
Choice A simplifies to 9n-8 after combining the like terms -7n+16n to get 9n
Choice C simplifies to 9n-8 for similar reasoning. The n+8n turns into 9n
This shows choices A and C are equivalent to choice D. Choice B isn't the same because 9(n-8) = 9n-9*8 = 9n-72. Use the distributive property.
Answer:
B. 9(n - 8)
Step-by-step explanation:
- 8 - 7n + 16n
-8 (-7n + 16n or 16n - 7n)
-8 + 9n
9n - 8
9(n - 8)
9n - 72
n - 8 + 8n
9n - 8
9n - 8
