Answer:
not sure
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there! The answer is 0 solutions.

First we need to work out the parenthesis (for instance possible by using rainbow technique).

Now subtract 12.

Now we can see that the right side of the equation is always 8 smaller than the left side of the equation. Because the right is always smaller, this equation cannot be solved. Therefore there are no solutions to this equation. The answer is 0 solutions.
Answer:
Shane started the problem correctly
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given problem (-5) - (-1 3/4).
Mariah started the problem as (-5) + 1 - 3/4
Shane started the problem as (-5) + 1 + 3/4
We need to find who started the problem correctly.
The problem should be started by converting the mixed fraction into improper fraction i,e

Now we will solve bracket by multiplying -1 with term inside the bracket i.e


Let's compare both the procedures now:
Mariah:



Therefore, Mariah did not start the problem correctly.
Shane:



Therefore, Shane started the problem correctly.
