Describe the error in solving the equation.
-27 - y) + 4 =-4
-14 - 2y + 4 = -4
-10 – 2y = -4
-2y = 6
y=-3

multiple choice

- 2 should have only been multiplied by 7

the -2 was not distributed properly. -2 should have been multiplied by 7 and -y, which is -14 + 2y.

- 10 should have been added to both sides of the equation

the quotient of 6 and -2 is 3. not-3.

find the correct solution to the equation.

Isuck at math ; ^; m a student solved this problem and said the answer is 3 feet. chase had a roll of ribbon that contained 7 7/8  feet of ribbon. he cut off one piece that was 3 5/8  feet long and another piece that was 1 1/4  feet from the roll. how much ribbon was left on the roll? is the student's answer reasonable? yes, the answer is reasonable. no, the answer is not reasonable. it should be about 2 feet. no, the answer is not reasonable. it should be about 13 feet. no, the answer is not reasonable. it should be about 4 feet.
