The three steps below were used to find the value of the expression [(-10 + 2) - 1] + (2 + 3).

Step 1: ?

Step 2: -9 + 2 + 3

Step 3: -7 + 3

Which expression is missing from Step 1?

a. [-10 + 1] + (2 + 3)

b. [8 + 1] + (2 + 3)

c. [-8 - 1] + (2 + 3)

d. [-10 + -1 + 2] + (2 + 3)

C. [-8-1] + (2+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

When solving [(-10+2)-1] + (2+3)

We follow PEMDAS and solve from left to right.

Since (-10+2) is the first parentheses, we solve and get -8

so it turns [(-10+2)-1] + (2+3) into

(-8-1) + (2+3)

get rid of 2+3's parenthese and solve for -8-1

-9 + 2 + 3

and then continue following steps shown in the question above.

the correct answer is a) "catholic church".

the proposals that liberals in mexico made during 1855 were particularly focused on a person's individual rights, such as the freedom of speech, the freedom of conscience, freedom of assembly, and the right to possess weapons.

when the constitution was formally published 2 years later (1857). it also contained an article which permitted education free from any religious influence, the removal of the catholic church institutional privileges, and the sale of property belonging to the church. all of these provisions were clearly against the catholic church interests.
