Question

Kenny solved the equation t plus two-thirds equals one-sixth as follows:

Line one shows: t plus two-thirds minus two-thirds equals one-sixth minus two-thirds. Line two shows: t equals one-sixth minus two-thirds. Line three shows: t equals one-sixth minus four-sixths. Line four shows: t equals one-half.

Which statement best describes his error?

He subtracted the wrong fraction on both sides of the equal sign. He subtracted when he should have added two-thirds to both sides of the equal sign.
He did not rename the fractions correctly when establishing a common denominator. He did n

Answer 2

First, let us see his work.
t+2/3=1/6

(1) t+2/3-2/3=1/6-2/3
(2) t=1/6-2/3
(3) t=1/6-4/6
(4) t=1/2

He wronged in the line 4.
line 4 should be
t=-1/2

He subtracted 1/6 from 4/6, but to get the right answer, he must subtract 4/6 from 1/6.

Answer 3

I think the right answer choice is the first one.
