Question 155248This question is from textbook prentise hall mathmatics Algebra 1
: Problem:
7m/2n-8p/n m=(-4) n=(2) p=(1.5)
do i start the problem this way 7(-4)/2(2) getting -28/4=(-7) or do I start like this: 7(-4)=(-28)/2=(-14); (-14)x2=(-28)
If I start the first way I get (-13) if I start the second way I get (-34) which is correct?
Thank-you
