Question

Eva is showing her work in simplifying (7.3 – 7.2) – 3.8 + 3.7. In which step did Eva make an error?

Step 1: (7.3 – 7.2) – 3.8 + 3.7

Step 2: 7.3 + (–7.2 – 3.8) + 3.7 (commutative property)

Step 3: 7.3 – 11 + 3.7

Step 4: 7.3 + 3.7 – 11 (commutative property)

Step 5: 11 – 11 = 0
Step 2; she wrote commutative instead of distributive
Step 4; she wrote commutative instead of distributive
Step 4; she wrote commutative instead of associative
Step 2; she wrote commutative instead of associative
