Question

Brianna solved a two-step equation, but she made a mistake along the way.

0.1x + 3 = 1.7
(-3) + 0.1x + 3 = 1.7 + (-3) Line 1
0.1x = -1.3 Line 2
(-0.1) + 0.1x = -1.3 + (-0.1) Line 3
x = -1.4 Line 4
What mistake did Brianna make?
On Line 1, Brianna should have subtracted 3 instead of adding -3.
On Line 1, Brianna violated the addition property of equality.
On Line 3, Brianna should have divided by 0.1 instead of subtracting 0.1.
