To solve the expression \(-30 + 4.5\), we need to follow the correct arithmetic operations. The expression can be simplified directly as follows:
\(-30 + 4.5\)
- Begin with \(-30\).
- Add \(4.5\) to \(-30\).
This is essentially finding how much \(4.5\) adds to \(-30\):
\(-30 + 4.5 = -25.5\)
None of the options provided show this simplified approach clearly. However, let's analyze the options based on the operations shown:
- The first option: \(-30 + 4.5 = -3 \cdot 0 + 4.5 = 0 + 4.5 = 4.5\) is incorrect.
- The second option: \(-30 + 4.5 = -1 \cdot 30 + 4.5\) leads to an error in the representation of calculations.
- The third option: \(-30 + 4.5 = (-3)^0 + 4.5 = 1 + 4.5 = 5.5\) is incorrect.
- The fourth option: \(-30 + 4.5 = -3 + 4.5 = 1.5\) is incorrect.
Given these assessments, none of the options accurately represent the correct process and result of solving \(-30 + 4.5\). The correct answer should simply be \(-30 + 4.5 = -25.5\).
