Step-by-step explanation:

your don't see what went wrong ?

Tyrell worked on

16 - 2(4 + 3x)

what do brackets mean ? they mean that this operation has to be done before everything else in the expression.

as this contains a variable, we cannot fully calculate it, true, but we need to keep this in mind and always treat the content of the brackets as one package.

so, whatever I do from the outside with one part of that package, I have to do also with all the other parts of that package.

so, the multiplication with -2 has to happen with both : 4 and 3x. not just with 4.

therefore, the correct simplification looks like

16 - 8 - 6x

8 - 6x or -6x + 8

Amelia multiplied correctly, but then made a mistake summing things up

10x - 3(4x + 1)

10x - 12x - 3

10x - 12x = -2x

I can't mix the pure constant -3 into the factors of x. that would be like the famous mixing of apples and oranges.

so, the result is

-2x - 3
