Andrew is showing his work in simplifying −4.5 + 4.2 + 5.6 − 7.3. Identify any errors in his work or in his reasoning. Step Work Reasoning
−4.5 + 4.2 + 5.6 − 7.3 Original problem
1 −4.5 + 4.2 + 5.6 + (−7.3) Additive inverse
2 −4.5 + (−7.3) + 4.2 + 5.6 Commutative property
3 [−4.5 + (−7.3)] + (4.2 + 5.6) Associative property
4 −11.8 + 9.8 Simplify
5 −21.6 Simplify
Step 1: He wrote −7.3 incorrectly as + (−7.3).
Step 2: He identified changing the order of the numbers as the commutative property, which is incorrect.
Step 3: He identified changing the grouping of the numbers as the associative property, which is incorrect.
Step 5: He simplified incorrectly.

5.

Step-by-step explanation:

He simplified incorrectly:

-11.8 + 9.8 = -2,  not -21.6.

it will cost dollar $540

the living room is 3 which means if we divide 325/3 then we get $108

therefore if 1part of the living room cost $108 and 3 costed $325

then total 5part of the room will cost 5*108 which gives $540

(a) common ratio in the given sequence is, 3

(b) push ups will do kendall do on the 20th week

step-by-step explanation:

geometric sequence is a sequence of numbers that follows a pattern were the next term is found by multiplying by a constant called the common ratio(r)

(a)

given the sequence: 6 , 18 , 54 , 162 ,

this sequence is geometric sequence where each term is 3 times the previous term.

therefore,

common ratio(r) = 3.

(b)

a formula for nth term of geometric sequence is given by;

,   where r is the common ratio between the successive terms and is the first term,

to find how many push ups will kendall do on the 20th week.

here. n = 20th term.

in the given sequence first term

then;

simplify:

therefore, push ups will do kendall do on the 20th week
