Final answer:
Without the specific mathematical problem, we cannot confirm who is correct. Generally, Trina's approach of multiplying first then adding aligns with the standard rules of operation (PEMDAS). Maurice's approach of adding first may be wrong unless the problem specifies otherwise with parentheses.
Step-by-step explanation:
To accurately determine whether Maurice or Trina solved the problem correctly, we need to know the specific mathematical problem they are solving. However, based on the information provided, it seems like they are solving a problem that involves both addition and multiplication. We also know from the given information that neither Maurice nor Trina's strategy is associated with the least common multiple of 6, since that concept does not apply here.
In general, the order in which operations should be executed in a mathematical expression is determined by the rules of order of operations, often remembered by the acronym PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)). According to these rules, multiplication should be performed before addition unless parentheses indicate otherwise.
If we apply these rules, it's likely that Trina is correct because she multiplies first and then adds. Without the specific problem, however, we cannot know for sure which answer choice, A) Maurice, B) Trina, C) Both, or D) Neither, is correct.
