Petro was given this system of equations. Negative 14 x minus 2 y = 24. 14 x + 8 y = negative 12. Petro’s work is shown in the table. Where, if anywhere, did Petro first make a mistake? Steps Petro’s Work Step 1 Negative 14 x minus 2 y = 24. 14 x + 8 y = negative 12. 6 y = 12. Step 2 6 y = 12. y = 2. Step 3 Negative 14 (2) minus 2 y = 24. Negative 28 minus 2 y = 24. Negative 2 y = 52. y = negative 26.
