Given:X + 6 + 3(x + 4)Step 1:X + 9(x + 4)Step 2:X + 9x + 36Step 3:10x + 36In what STEP did Jarrod make the error in the work shown above? *ChooseFor the step in which Jarrod made an error, what should he have doneinstead? *

Answer 1

the initial expression is:

`x+6+3(x+4)`

So in the next ste they add 6 + 3 but firt they should distribute the 3 into the parenthesis, so the mistake is in step 1, so the correct form is:

`\begin{gathered} x+6+3x+12 \\ 4x+18 \end{gathered}`
