Leonardo is solving the equation 4 (x minus one-fifth) = 2 and two-thirds. His work is shown. Where is his error? 4 (x minus one-fifth) = 2 and two-thirds. Step 1, 4 x minus four-fifths = 2 and two-thirds. Step 2, 4 x = StartFraction 8 over 3 EndFraction + four-fifths. Step 3, 4 x StartFraction 40 over 15 EndFraction + StartFraction 16 over 15 EndFraction. Step 4, 4 x = StartFraction 56 over 15 EndFraction times one-fourth. X = StartFraction 14 over 15 EndFraction. step 1 step 2 step 3 step 4
