Step 1: 2x + 3x + 1 = 3 Step 2: 5x + 1 = 3 Step 3: 5x + 1 - 1 = 3 - 1 Step 4: 5x = 2 In which step was the error made?

OpenStudy (arbershabani97):

there is no error there

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Really?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I can't see one either.

OpenStudy (arbershabani97):

really!

If you solve for x in step 4, you get 0.4 If you apply 0.4 to step 1, you get 3.

I completely see no error, unless it is in step three when he had to add the 1 to the 5x and it would be completely different.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, I really don't see an error either.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(2\times0.4)+(3\times0.4)+1=3\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wow thanks again lol.
