* WILL GIVE BRIANLIEST*The work of a student to solve the equation 3(3y − 8) = 10 + 3y is shown below:

Step 1: 3(3y − 8) = 10 + 3y
Step 2: 6y − 5 = 10 + 3y
Step 3: 3y − 5 = 10
Step 4: 3y = 15
Step 5: y = 5

In which step did the student first make an error and what is the correct step?
Step 2: 9y − 24 = 10 + 3y
Step 2: 6y + 11 = 10 + 4y
Step 3: 6y − 8 = 3(6 + y)
Step 3: 3(3y − 8) = 7 + y

Answer 1

The step she did wrong was step 1 -2 when she did the distributive property wrong. The correct step should be step 2: 9y-24=10+3y

Good luck mate :P cheers
