(Adding and Subtracting Linear Expressions HC)
Margie's work for adding linear expressions is shown below. After checking her answer with the answer key, she solved it incorrectly.
Given (-4.23b+13) - (5.47b-12)
Step 1 -4.23b+13+ (-5.47b) + 12
Step 2 -4.23b + (-5.47b) + 13 + 12
Step 3 (-4.23b+ (-5.47b))+ (13+12)
Step 4 9.7b+ 25
Part A: Identify and explain the first step where Margle made an error. (2 points)
Part B: Explain how to correctly write the expression in fewest terms by correcting the error in Part A. Show all work. (2 points)
