(Choice C)

Step 3

(Choice D)

Ty did not make a mistake.

Answer 1

Answer: C. Step 3

Explanation:

Since we are informed that Ty tried to evaluate the expression step by step. The expression given is:

8x2x3

Step 1: =8x(2x3)

Step 2: =8x6

Step 3: =42

From the above, we can see that both step 1 and step 2 are correct but step 3 is wrong because 8 × 6 isn't equal to 42 but rather 48.

8 × 6 = 48 and not 42.

Therefore Ty's mistake is step 3.
