Answer:

Step 1 is the first error

Explanation:

Given


(2)/(9) + (1)/(5)

Required

Which step contains the first error?

From the attachment, the first step is the first error.

This is so because the fractions can not be written as a fraction with a denominator of 14

Solving further:


(2)/(9) + (1)/(5)

Find Common Denominator 45


(2*5)/(9*5) + (1*9)/(5*9)


(10)/(45) + (9)/(45)

Add:


(10 + 9)/(45)


(19)/(45)
