Answer:

Sebastian's error = 9 + (-7)

The correct expression for Sebastian's movement = 7 + (-9)

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Lobby as a reference point

Sebastian's took 7 floors to his room

Hence, Lobby + 7 floors = Sebastian's room

Then, he took 9 floors down to the garage

Hence, Room - 9 floors = Garage

Therefore the total movement for Sebastian = Number of floors taken to his room + Number of floors taken to the garage

= 7 +(-9)

a) Sebastian's error was making the number of movements to his room negative, it is meant to be positive because he took the elevators UP

b) Sebastian's error was making the number of movements to the elevator positive, it is meant to be negative because he took the elevators DOWN to the garage

Hence, the correct expression = 7 +(-9)
