Answer:
Explanation:
Let's check his work by simplifying the given expression.
- 2(x - 2) - 2(3)
- => 2x - 4 - 6
- => 2x - 10
When I compare Marty's result and this result, they are un-equal. Hence, Marty is incorrect.
Marty's mistake
- Marty must've got the problem wrong because of not understanding the distributive property.
- He probably forgot to multiply -2 by 2. Instead, he only subtracted 2 when he should've subtracted 4 from 2x.
