Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given an expression:

28 + x - 2n + 7 - n - 5x + 4

We have to find its equivalent expression

On combining the like terms of the above expression

28+4+7+x-5x-2n-n

= 39-4x-3n

= - 3n-4x+39

According to Tyrone the equivalent expression was:

-3n - 5x + 39 + x

The error Tyrone made was:

A. Tyrone neglected to combine the x terms
