Can you help me with this problem!? Thanks !!

Answer 1

step 1

Explanation:

no

Answer 2

Step 1

Explanation:

Taylor tried to solve an equation step by step.

`7(y+4.5)= 32.5`

Step 1.
`7y + 4.5= 32.5`

In step 1, 7 is distributed inside the parenthesis. Taylor forgot to multiply 7 with 4.5. WE need to multiply 7 with y and 7 with 4.5

So equation becomes

`7y + 31.5= 32.5`

Step 2.
`7y= 28`

Step 3.
`y= 4`

Taylor did mistake in step 1. 7 is not distributed correctly inside the parenthesis.
