Amit
and Tiana simplified the expression -4 [8 + (-6) +3] in different ways Amits first
step was to add the three numbers within the brackets. Tianas first
step was to multiply each of the number within the brackets by -4.
Part
A:- Write an expression to represent Tianas first step. In the
expresssion,show which numbers are being multiplied together,but
dont find each of the products.
Part
B:- What should Tiana have writtern as the product when she
multiplied -6 by -4.

Verified Answer :

Part A: (8 × (-4))  (-6 × (-4))  (3 × (-4))

Part B: -6 × -4 = 24. So when multiplying -6 by -4, the product should be 24

But basically, Tiana's way of solving this question is correct while Amit's is incorrect.And this is because Amit is using PEMDAS, unlike Tiana.
