Question

Help me Circle describe and correct each error -22=4(x-5)-2+(1-3x)-22=4x-20-2+6x-22=10x-18-40=10x -4=x

Answer 1

Given

The equation is given as

`\begin{gathered} -22=4(x-5)-2(1-3x) \\ -22=4x-20-2+6x \\ -22=10x-18 \\ -40=10x \\ x=-4 \end{gathered}`

Step-by-step explanation

Simplify the expression, and solve for x.

`\begin{gathered} -22=4(x-5)-2(1-3x) \\ -22=4x-20-2+6x \\ -22=10x-22 \\ -22+22=10x \\ x=0 \end{gathered}`

The error in the expression is when we add -20-2 we get -22 , not -18.

The error is -18 .

Answer

Hence the correct answer is x=0.

The error in the expression is when we add -20-2 we get -22 , not -18.
