He made a mistake distributing -2

zepp · Answer

Because you see,  
x - 12 + 6x = 2
x -12 + 6x -2 = 0
should give x -14+6x = 7x -14

anonymous · Answer

Oh thank you, I was close to putting that but I wasn't so sure :)

zepp · Answer

oh yeah, didn't see.. it's 7x indeed :s

zepp · Answer

Your answer was absolutely right, my bad, didn't notice he kept the 2 at the right side.

anonymous · Answer

So "He combined like terms incorrectly. It should have been 7x instead of 5x." is correct?

zepp · Answer

Yes.

anonymous · Answer
