Question

Whats her errors and whats the soulution​

Answer 1

The error is 8(x - 3) + 7 = 2x(13) and -17 = 34x.

4 - 17 = -13, not 13

8x - 17 = 26x

-17 = 26x -8

-17 = 18x ( it should be like this, but this is still wrong because it should -26)

The solution is:

8(x - 3) + 7 = 2x(4 - 17)

8(x - 3) + 7 = 2x(-13)

8x - 24 + 7 = -26x

8x - 17 = -26x

8x + 26x = 17

34x = 17

x = 17/34

x = 1/2

Hope it helps!
