Answer:
The number of cards Paul had at the beginning was 64 cards
Step-by-step explanation:
Here we have a word problem as follows
Paul traded 13 baseball card to Dan for 4 new packs of 6 card each
Number of cards received from Dan = 6 × 4 = 24
Number of cards traded to Dan = 13
Net number of cards traded = 24 - 13 = 11
Total number of cards Paul now has = 75 cards
Therefore since Paul gained 11 cards to make his total number of cards = 75, then;
The initial amount of cards Paul had = 75 - 11 = 64 cards.
Answer:
- correct answer is C
- Haley incorrectly applied the distributive property
Step-by-step explanation:
If you simplify the given equation, you find it matches choice C.

__
Haley's error seems to be failing to distribute the 1/2 properly when she eliminated parentheses. Apparent, she incorrectly decided that ...
1/2(6 -x) ⇒ 3 -x . . . . instead of 3 -1/2x
Then when -x was added to +3x, she got 2x. Had she done it properly, she would have added -1/2x to +3x to get 5/2x.
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
It is a common error to "distribute" the factor outside parentheses to the first term only, as Haley apparently did. Another common error is to fail to distribute minus signs properly. The distributive property requires you apply the outside factor to <em>all</em> of the terms inside parentheses.
