Rita is adding 3 + (negative 8) + 1. She rewrites the expression as 3 + (negative 1) + 8. What is Rita’s error?
She used the commutative property, which cannot be used with negative numbers.
In the new expression, –8 and 1 should both be negative.
She used the associative property which should only be used with positive numbers..
She switched the negative signs for –8 and 1.

step-by-step explanation:

always plug in x. in this case, x equals 4.

i'm going to first solve 4(2+3x)

1) 4(2+3(4)) use pemdas to solve.

i'm going to multiply whats in the parenthesis first, so 3 times 4=12.

2)4 (2+12) i'm then going to multiply 4 by both numbers in the parenthesis (because multiplying comes before adding)

4 times 2= 8.   4 times 12= 48

4) (8+48)= 56 (answer)

i'm then going to solve 8+12x and plug in 4 for x.

1) 8 +12(4)

multiplying comes before adding, so i'm gonna multiply 12 and 4.

12 times 4= 48.

2) 8+48=56

both equal the same!
