The mathematical mistake that Riley made is that:
"She used the wrong common denominator." (Option A)
A common denominator is a factor that is similar to all the fractions in the sequence of equations.
Hence the correct answer is:
(2(2x² - 6x + 9))/((x-3) (x-2) (x+3))
See the correct sequence of steps below:
Step One - the Expression is given as:
(x/(x-3)(x-2)) + (3/(x+3))
Step 2 - Find the common denominator and rewrite the expression so that the numerators are above the common denominators.
Hence we have: (x (x+3) + 3(x-3) (x-2))/(x-3)(x-2)(x+3)
Step 3 Apply the Law of Multiplicative Distribution:
Hence we have (x² +3x+3x²-9x-6x+16)/(x-3)(x-2)(x+3)
Step 4 - Collect Like Items
This gives us: (x²+3x²)+(3x-9x-6x)+18/(x-3)(x-2)(x+3)
Step 5 Sort for like coefficients
This gives us: ((1+3)x² +(3-9-6) * x + 18)/(x-3)(x-2)(x+3)
Step 6 - check for the sum or difference
This gives us: (4x²+(3-9-6) * x+ 18)/(x-3)(x-2)(x+3)
We simplify and factor the expression to get
(2(2x²-6x+6)/(x-3)(x-2)(x+3).

Answer:
The percentage decrease in the number candid student pictures for the yearbook from 2015 to 2016 is approximately 9.3 percent
Step-by-step explanation:
The given data can be presented as follows
Year Number of Photos
2015 236
2016 214
The percentage decrease in the number of candid pictures is give by the following formula
Where;
Original value for the number of pictures = 236
New value for the number of pictures = 214
Substituting the values into the equation for the percentage decrease gives;
The percentage decrease is approximately 9.3 percent.
