PUZZLED HELP! If I solve an equation, get the answer, but when I do a" check step", does it mean that I have to solve the equation again? Example: 3(x – 1) + 2x = 6x is equaled to -3, but when I checked it the answer was false...-16=-18 (false)

Answer:

If it's wrong then yes you should try to solve the equation again if not then you should be fine to just move on

When you check it, you are solving but with a different strategy
