Jillian is using integer tiles to add 7 + (negative 2). She uses the steps below. Step 1 7 positive tiles. Step 2 7 positive tiles and 2 negative tiles. Step 3 7 positive tiles and 2 negative tiles. 2 positive and 2 negative tiles are circled. Step 4 7 + (negative 2) = 2 Jillian has made an error. In which step does it occur? Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Mark this and return

Answer 1

Answer:

Step 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression 7+(-2)

Let 7 be 7 positive tiles since it is a positive number

Let -2 be 2 negative tiles being a negative number

7+(-2) = 7 positive tiles and 2 negative tiles

note that + * - will give minus sigh (-), the expression will become:

7+(-2) = 7-2

7-2 = 5

Hence the expression gives 5 positive tiles not 2 positive tiles according to Jillian calculations in step 4.

Hence Jillian made an error in step 4
