Kadesha is simplifying the expression below. Negative (x minus 3) minus 2 (x minus 1)

She lists the steps that she uses to simplify the expression as follows:

Step 1: Distribute –1 through (x minus 3), and distribute –2 through (x minus 1).
Step 2: Rewrite the expression as Negative x minus 3 minus 2 x minus 2.
Step 3: Combine –x and –2x, and combine –3 and –2.
Step 4: The simplified expression is Negative 3 x minus 5.

In which step did Kadesha make the first error?
She made the first error in Step 1 because only –2 should be distributed through the parentheses.
She made the first error in Step 2 because Step 2 should be Negative x + 3 minus 2 x + 2.
She made the first error in Step 3 because –x and –2x cannot be combined.
She made the first error in Step 4 because the simplified expression is Negative x minus 5.

answer:   segregation violated the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment, which holds that no state can “deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

details/explanation:

brown v. board of education of topeka, decided by the us supreme court in 1954, ruled that all americans are entitled to the same civil liberties and protections in regard to access to education. until that decision, it was legal to segregate schools according to race, so that black students could not attend the same schools as white students.   an older supreme court decision, plessy v. ferguson (1896), had said that separate, segregated public facilities were acceptable as long as the facilities offered were equal in quality.   in the case of brown v. board of education, that standard was challenged and defeated.   segregation was shown to create inequality, and the supreme court unanimously ruled segregation to be unconstitutional.

the ruling was important in advancing civil rights because it affirmed that the 14th amendment applies to all rights and privileges of citizens, including access to   education.   this was being violated by states whose laws supported the segregation of schools.   section 1 of the 14th amendment reads as follows:

complete the steps to find the area of the trapezoid.

area of rectangle = 256   square units

area of triangle 1 = 24  square units

area of triangle 2 = 16  square units

area of triangle 3 =   96 square units

area of trapezoid = 120  square units

step-by-step explanation:

the answer is c: divide the arc's degree measure by 360°, then multiply by the circumference of the circle.
