Tamara rewrote the expression 0.2(4+1.4y - 2.1). Her steps are shown. Step 1: 0.2(4+1.4y - 2.1)
Step 2: 4.2+1.6y-1.9
Step 3: 4.2-1.9+1.6y
Step 4: 2.3+1.6
Which statement identifies and explains the first mistake Tamara made?

Please helppp

Her first mistake was in Step 2. She added 0.2 to each term instead of multiplying by 0.2.

Step-by-step explanation:

CORRECT WAY:

0.2(4+1.4y - 2.1)

0.8 + 0.28y - 0.42

0.8 - 0.42 + 0.28y

0.38 + 0.28y

WHAT TAMARA DID:

0.2(4+1.4y - 2.1)

How she got 4.2: 0.2 + 4 = 4.2

How she got 1.6y: 0.2 + 1.4y = 1.6y

How she got -1.9: 0.2 + -2.1 = -1.9

WHAT SHE DID HERE IS WRONG. REMEMBER WHEN IT IS __( ) IT MEANS THAT YOU NEED TO MULTIPLE NUMBER OUTSIDE THE PARATNESS TO EVERY NUMBER THAT IS INSIDE THE PARATNESS.

56.6

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of the perimeters is equal to the scale.

the ratio of the areas is equal to the square of the scale.

34 / 20 = k

a / 19.6 = k²

substituting:

a / 19.6 = (34 / 20)²

a = 19.6 (34 / 20)²

a ≈ 56.6
