Natalie tried to evaluate the expression (4-3.2-3) ".

(4-3.2-3)

= (8-3)

Step 1

= 80

Step 2

=

0

Step 3

Did Natalie make a mistake? If so, in which step?

Answer: C. 3.2 * 10^4

Step-by-step explanation:

for this case the multiplication of the values with exponent are summed, as the exponent are the 6 and - 3

6 - 3 = 3

this will be the exponent of the common value which is the 10.

after you only need to multiply 8 and 4 by separate the

8 * 4 = 32.

then we only need to place the values one by one

32 * 10^3

3 is the result of the sum of the exponent.

10 is the common value.

32 is the result of the product.

if we add another zero to the multiplication we get 3.2 and exponent finish with one more zero, then we get this result

3.2 * 10^4

because of that the C is the correct answer, keep in mind that the other answers do not apply correctly the rule of the exponent, because the rest of answer give us wrong answer with final result of the exponent.
