Find becky's mistake
Choose 1

Answer 1

Hi there!

mistake= step 2..

If you can see, the equation is the opposite so this means that to find the answer, your gonna have to add first.. instead of subtracting..

1.Add the terms:

`7+(5)/(4)=7(5)/(4)`

2.Simplifly the terms:

`7(5)/(4)=7(25)/(20)`

`(4)/(5)=(16)/(20)`

3.Subtract the terms:

`7(25)/(20)-(16)/(20)=7(9)/(20)`

Therefore, the mistake was step 2...
