Question

Need help with this one, and one more

Whats the error
5x-3(x-6)=2
5x-3x-18=2
2x-18=2
2x=20
x=10


`(j-5)/(6)+1=2`

Answer 1

`5x - 3(x - 6) = 2 \\ 5x - 3x + 18 = 2 \\ 2x = 2 - 18 \\ 2x = - 16 \\ (2x)/(2) = ( - 16)/(2) \\ x = - 8`

YOU MADE A MISTAKE IN THE SECOND STEP -3×-6 GIVES POSITIVE 18 NOT NEGATIVE 18

ONE WRONG STEP MEANS WRONG ANSWERS

BUT I CORRECTED IT ABOVE
