(i) Check each of the simplifications and see if there is a mistake.

(ii) If there is a mistake, try to explain what could have gone wrong.

(iii) Then write the correct expression.
 
\(4(x – 3) + 7(x + 8)\)

\(= 4x – 3 + 7x + 8\)

\(= 11x + 5\)
 
Answer:
 
(i) The simplification is .
 
(ii) The reason is .
 
(iii) \(4(x – 3) + 7(x + 8)\) \(=\) ii+i.
