Step-by-step explanation:

Tyrell worked on
16 - 2(4 + 3x)
what do brackets mean ? they mean that this operation has to be done before everything else in the expression.
as this contains a variable, we cannot fully calculate it, true, but we need to keep this in mind and always treat the content of the brackets as one package.
so, whatever I do from the outside with one part of that package, I have to do also with all the other parts of that package.
so, the multiplication with -2 has to happen with both : 4 and 3x. not just with 4.
therefore, the correct simplification looks like
16 - 8 - 6x
8 - 6x or -6x + 8
Amelia multiplied correctly, but then made a mistake summing things up
10x - 3(4x + 1)
10x - 12x - 3
10x - 12x = -2x
I can't mix the pure constant -3 into the factors of x. that would be like the famous mixing of apples and oranges.
so, the result is
-2x - 3
I think it's consistent and independent because consistent means it has at least one solution (which it does) and independent means that it has exactly one solution. (i wasnt familiar with these terms so i googled what they meant, i apologise in advance if i am wrong)
Answer: I am in highschool and im doing this stuff. If you find out the answer let me know please.
Y=4.1 because it if take ten. And multiply it by three then take negative 9Y equals seven and divided by nine gives you 4.1
