The steps Quentin took to evaluate the expression 3m-3: 3 when m=8 are shown below. 3m-3 = 3 when m = 8 3 x 8 = 24 24 – 3 = 21 21 : 3 = 7 What should Quentin have done differently in order to evaluate the expression? А divided (24 – 3) by (243) B divided (24 – 3) by (24 – 3) С subtracted (3:3) from 24 D subtracted 3 from (24 + 3)



Answer :

3m - 3 ÷ 3

when m = 8

after substituting m = 8 into the expression

3(8) - 3 ÷ 3

which will give

24 - 3÷ 3

The step to have taken, using BODMAS is to divide 3 by 3 first which is "1"

Then subtract the 1 from 24

So the correct option is

C. subtracted (3÷3) from 24
