Answer:

The bold is incorrect up top and corrected below

Step-by-step explanation:

(−4.5 + 4.2 + 5.6 − 7.3  Original problem)

(1−4.5 + 4.2 + 5.6 + (−7.3)  Additive inverse)

(2−4.5 + (−7.3) + 4.2 + 5.6  Commutative property)

(3(−4.5 + (−7.3)) + (4.2 + 5.6)  Associative property)

(4−11.8 + 9.8  Simplify)

(5−21.6  Simplify)

heres what done

−4.5 + 4.2 + 5.6 − 7.3

−4.5 + 4.2 + 5.6 + (−7.3)

−4.5 + (−7.3) + 4.2 + 5.6

(−4.5 + (−7.3)) + (4.2 + 5.6)

-11.8+9.8 = -2
