Question

Identify who is correct
Describe the mistake that was made

Answer 1

Taniyah

Explanation:

Taniyah is correct because you need to:

diistribute : 8k - 6 - 6k = 14

combine like terms : 2k - 6 = 14

add 6 to both sides : 2k - 6 + 6 = 14 + 6

simplify : 2k = 20

divide both sides by the same factor : 2k/2 = 20/2

simplify : k = 10

Answer 2

Jack is wrong because he used the distributive property wrong. On the top equation, you see 2(4k - 3). The 2 multiplies into the (), so basically you have

2 x 4k - 2 x 3

which gives you

8k - 6
