Answer:

Step 2 contains error in the given problem.

Explanation:

Given expression is:


(1)/(2)x-3=(1)/(3)x+6

Step 1: identifying the LCM.

The LCM identified is 6.

This step is correct.

In the next step, we multiply the LCM with each term of the equation.

Step 2:


(6)/(1)((1)/(2)x) -3 =(6)/(1)((1)/(3)x)+6

However,

In the given solution, the LCM is not multiplied with each term.

Hence,

Step 2 contains error in the given problem.
