Given:
Original expression ==> -4g + 7
Mary said that the expression -7 + 4g is equivalent to the original expression.
To verify Mary's claim, let's rearrange the expression using asscociative property of addition.
We have:
-7 + 4g ==> 4g - 7
After rearranging the expression -7 + 4g, we have 4g - 7.
Thus, we now have the two expressions:
Original expression ==> -4g + 7
Mary's expression ==> 4g - 7
We can see that both expressions are different. Therefore, Mary is not correct.
ANSWER:
No, Mary's claim is n
