Question

Todd attempted to solve an equation but made an error. What is his error, and which

step did he make it in?
3x - 6 - 6x=4-2x+3
-3x-6= 4-2x+3 Step 1
-37-6=7-21 Step 2
Step 3
-6=7 - 50r Step 4

Answer 1

Answer: The error is in step 3. Todd should add 3

to both sides of the equation, not subtract 3.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Explanation:

-37-6=7-21 Step 2 is wrong

It should be

-3x - 6 = 7-2x

-3x + 2x = 7 + 6

-x = 13

x = -13
