The answer is: [A]: He did not apply the distributive property correctly for 4(1 + 3i) .
_____________________________________________
Explanation:
______________________
Note the distributive property of multiplication:
_____________________________
a*(b+c) = ab + ac.
____________________________
As such: 4*(1 + 3i) = (4*1) + (4*3i) = 4 + 12i ;
_____________________________________
Instead, Donte somehow incorrectly calculated:
_____________________________________
4*(1 + 3i) = (4*1) + 3i = 4 + 31; (and did the rest of the problem correctly);
Note: - (8 - 5i) = -8 + 5i (done correctly;
___________________________________
So if Donte did not apply the distributive property correctly for 4*(1+3i)—and incorrect got 4 + 3i (as mentioned above); but did the rest of the problem correctly, he would have got:
_____________________________
4+ 3i - 8 + 5i = -4 + 8i (the incorrect answer as stated in our original problem.

cups of cheese is needed to make 10 pizzas.
<u><em>Explanation</em></u>
For making one pizza, amount of cheese needed = 
cups = 
cups.
Now for finding the total amount of cheese needed to make 10 pizzas, we need to <em>multiply cups by 10. </em>
So, 
Thus, cups of cheese is needed to make 10 pizzas.

The total height of the building in the picture has been shown as
x + x + 6
That is, the first two storys have been shown as x feet each and the total height is 26 feet.
That means the two x are actually 20 feet, (if you deduct the 6 feet given)
Total height = x + x + 6
26 = x + x + 6
26 = 2x + 6
Subtract 6 from both sides of the equation
26 - 6 = 2x + 6 - 6
20 = 2x
Divide both sides of the equation by 2 and you now have,
20/2 = 2x/2
10 = x
Therefore, te height of each story is 10 feet!
