(ii) If there is a mistake, try to explain what could have gone wrong. (iii) Then write the correct expression.Is there a mistake? Yes What went wrong? The student added unlike terms. You can only add apples to apples - w2 (w-squared) is different from w They cannot be combined into a single number like 11. Correct solution 5๐ค^2+6๐ค =๐๐^๐+๐๐
