Question

Cedric and Insha solved the same equation using the calculations below.

Cedric’s Work
Insha’s Work
z minus 4.5 = negative 1.5. z minus 4.5 + 4.5 = negative 1.5 + 4.5. z = 3.
z minus 4.5 = negative 1.5. z minus 4.5 + (negative 4.5) = negative 1.5 + (negative 4.5). z = negative 6.

Which statement is true about their work?

Answer 1

The first working out is correct, z = 3
