Respuesta :
Step 2 should have been 27(3) X 27(12)=27(3x12)=27(36). Or, alternatitively, she could have used 27(30)+27(6)=27(30+6)=27(36)=972

Answer:
Step 1 should have been 27(6 + 30).
Step-by-step explanation:
Liz is using the distributive property to evaluate the expression 27(36)
Step 1 : 27(3 + 12)
Step 2 : 27(3) + 27(12)
Step 3 : 81 + 324
Step 4 : 405
We can see that Liz made a mistake in first step.
3+12 is equal to 15 and she has multiplies 27 and 15 further to get 405 as answer.
She should have done 27(6 + 30) as 6+30 is equal to 36 and the final answer will be 27(36) = 972
