Question

Grant attempted to solve an equation but made an error. What is his error, and

which step did he make it in?
-4 + 2x = 5 – (x – 3) + 3x
-4 + 2x = 5 - x + 3 + 3x
-4 + 2x = 5 + 4x + 3
-4 + 2x = 8 + 4x

Answer 1

No Solution.

Explanation:

-4+2x=5-(x-3)+3x

-4+2x=5-x+3+3x

-4+2x=5+3-x+3x

-4+2x=8+2x

-4+2x-2x=8

-4+0=8

-4=8

no solution
