Chris made at least one error as she found the value of this expression.

2(-20) + 3[5/4(-20)] + 5[2/5(50)] + 4(50)

Step 1: 2(-20) + 3(-25) + 5(20) + 4(50)

Step 2: (3 + 2)(-20 + -25) + (5 + 4)(20 + 50)

Step 3: 5(-45) + 9(70)

Step 4: -225 + 630

Step 5: 405

Identify the step in which Chris made her first error. After identifying the step with the first error, write the corrected steps and find the final answer.

Chris messed up between steps one and two

Step two SHOULD be:

 -40 -75 +100 +200

-115 + 300

185
