Myra is evaluating the expression –31.7 + 4.5x, when x = 2.1.

–31.7 + 4.5(2.1)

    –27.2(2.1)

    –57.12

What was Myra’s error?

A Myra should have multiplied -31.7 and 2.1 first.

B Myra should have multiplied 4.5 and 2.1 first.

C Myra should have subtracted -27.2 and 2.1 first.

D Myra should have added -31.7 and 2.1 first.
