Respuesta :
Maria combined all of the factors, which were not all like terms. She should’ve did -4n+9n and 3-4 to get 5n-1
The error that Maria did was combining all the factors in the algebraic expression without collecting the like terms to a particular side to solve for the variable (n).
What is an Algebraic expression?
Algebraic expression involves solving numbers with variables with the use of arithmetic operations e.g.
- Addition
- Subtraction
- Multiplication
- Division
Claim:
Maria Said that:
- -4n + 3 + 9n - 4 = 4n
If we ignore the like terms and assume all numbers have a variable (n);
Then, we have:
- -4n + 3n + 9n - 4n = 4n
