Answer:
C. Fernando incorrectly found the product of -2 and -5.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given an image, which represents work of Fernando's evaluation of an expression. We are asked to find the error in Fernando's work.
[tex]\frac{5(9-5)}{2}+(-2)(-5)+(-3)^2[/tex]
Let us evaluate our given expression using order of operations (PEMDAS).
[tex]\frac{5(4)}{2}+(-2*-5)+9[/tex]
[tex]\frac{20}{2}+10+9[/tex]
[tex]10+10+9[/tex]
[tex]29[/tex]
Since we know that product of two negative numbers is always positive, therefore, the product of negative 2 and negative 5 will be positive 10.
Therefore, Fernando incorrectly found the product of -2 and -5 and option C is the correct choice.
